Look for some insight and recomendation. I orginally had a probe thermometer installed in my double wall pipe roughly 20 " above stove top. I recently installed a inline damper and it bumped the thermometer up another 4.5". So now the probe sits at roughly 24.5" from the top of the stove. Do you think this is to high for the probe placement? If so I know I could lower it but that would entail drilling another hole and then me trying to figure out what to stop up the existing hole with and for it to look astectically pleasing to the eye at the same time.
