Monitoring zero clearance temperatures

[Xv20190]

Hello all

Currently have a brand new Valcourt Lafayette FP10 with double walked duravent installed into my home with the stone for the hearth to be completed this weekend. I have been reading about how important it is to monitor stove temperatures for efficiency and safety. What are my best options without having any access into the chase to get to the stove pipe. Does a remote probe to go into the fireplace itself with an external monitor exist?

Looking very forward to my first few fires when the temperatures start to drop. I realize it's still going to be a learning curve but I'm trying to learn as much as I can before instead of trial and error.

A fireplace is different from a stove installation. There are no probes to monitor flue gas temps in chimney pipe.

So would I benefit the same from being able to monitor it?

The best benefit initially would be to read and follow the manual's guidance for burning. Even with instrumentation it's important to use one's senses for guidance.
