VC intrepid catalyst temperature probe: should I install it?

[Roger Feeley]

Vermont castings includes a temperature probe with their catalytic performance pack. I have a magnetic thermometer already. Should I bother to install the VC one?

Yes, the cat thermometer reads the cat at a much higher temperature. It can be more helpful than stovetop temp.

Would anyone have images of a probe on a VC Intrepid? The instructions don’t tell me much.

Thread 'VC Intrepid II Combustor & Probe'

Jun 28, 2014

I've been using this stove and it's time to clean the combustion system. In reading the cleaning instruction I find reference to two items that I have now Idea what they look like or where they are. 1) Probe thermostat 2) Combustor and Probe. These may be one in the same. The instruction say "the probe thermostat should be inspected annually". Then in another paragraph it says "inspect the combustor and probe". The exploded view of the stove shows neither of these items. Can someone help me with this as I took everything apart internally, clean it and put all back together and never...
