Seriously, I was reading Hogz thread and my thermo HAS to be junk.....cuz when it reads 250-300 its just crankin! It smells very very hot when it gets in that range. I dunno what brand it is or how old it is.......was a left over from our last house which came with and ol' Timberline. Now Im really curious how hot its really running.... I should probably install a probe but dont know how to and really would like to keep pipe clean looking. Maybe you can see thermo in this pic
I think my top plate thermo is junk.....Summit reading of 200-300??

What you have there is an oven thermometer. It never will give you the temp of the top plate of that stove. Go to the hardware store and get a stove thermometer that lays flat on the stove.
