Just the tip…

Your correct, the bk meter doesnt show temps, however between the old condar and bk meter, they were basically in the same area opposed to the new condar which was pegged out. There was only three 1 1/2" x 8" pieces an oak branch in the stove, as I had just fired up the stove 20 minutes earlier. After seeing how well the Auber works, Id like to use something similar to measure the cats temp.

I use an auber for my flue temps above the shop stove. It’s been awesome for that.
