Stovetop thermometers

[JimBear]

I was just curious as to what folks are using for stovetop thermometers. Mine is an Inferno

I use the same one. Ive never tested it against others but i like it and think its fairly accurate. From what i can tell it is a pretty popular thermometer on here and a lot of folks use it for what thats worth.

I have a Homesaver that is usually within 50 of my laser thermometer.

Condar . . . I forget which exact model. It's been relatively accurate when stacked up against the IR thermometer.

I have several different ones (Condar, Rutland, Jotul). They all seem reasonably accurate, but I also use an IR thermometer to check all areas of the stove/ pipe.

Most of theses can be off 100 degrees or more. I think the IR guns are a lot more accurate. I have about 3 different makes of those and all test about the same on known temp surfaces. Maybe off 5 degrees or so between models.

Use that one as well. Not sure of accuracy although when it is just below or just above the 400 degree mark, creosote, I no longer see smoke from the chimney cap.

I got the auber instrument stove pipe temperature sensor and i love it can read it from the couch and I have a camera pointed towards the stove and can see the temp on the monitor by my bed

Throw it away. I had one of those as freebie on a new stove purchase and found out after I got anIR gun that it was over 100 degrees off.

For my Jotul F400 Castine, the manual is very specific about where the magnetic thermometer should be placed on the top plate. Is this the case for other stoves? My top plate temperature varies by 50 deg depending where I point the IR gun.
