Agreed. I have the Auber AW-TMB-Deluxe wifi monitor which sent the alarm to my phone at 1am as the temps crossed 1650. Of course I touched the stove controls trying to stop it which only got it going more and eventually topped out at 1740 with the pipe glowing red. Lesson now learned from woodsplitter67, don't touch it. That black section in the pic is a section of black pipe loosely wrapped around so you don't see the stainless pipe coming down.

My old stove, high is high, low is low, off is off. With the Encore, low can go ballistic and there is no off. That's why I don't trust it.
That pic is scary as 💩. Did you send a camera through the liner after?
