Clip On Hot Water Pipe thermometer 0-120C 63MM Radiator Thermometer Balancing Temperature Gauge with Spring Bimetal Stainless Steel Surface Contact for Radiator Pipe Temperature

Product Information

A wood stove thermometer is therefore a great piece of kit that you can use to help understand how well you’re using your stove for each fire. Types Of Wood Stove Thermometer Wood burning stoves should always be operated as per the manufacturer’s guidelines and best burning practices but adding too much or too little wood, or allowing too little or too much air into the stove, at any one time can affect how efficient the fire is burning and how much heat is being produced. A large digital display makes it easy to read off the measurements from this Thermapen. The range is also huge and Thermapen can be used to detect temperatures ranging from -49.9 to 299.9°C. To save battery life, the thermometer can automatically switch off in ten minutes. This feature helps to maximise battery life. However, if this feature does not suit your needs, you can turn this off. Two lithium coin cell batteries power the Thermapen and can work for 1500 hours at minimum.

Wood stove thermometers are small and relatively inexpensive devices, typically round in shape, that can provide an indication of the temperature that an operating wood stove is burning at. Most types of thermostats and thermocouples have a shelf life. This is because electrical current or physical movement can eventually wear out the metal components of a heat sensor. Understanding what a wood stove fire should look like, the maximum and minimum amount of wood you should be putting in your particular model of stove, and how much air your allowing to the fire can be more important than solely relying on what a stove thermometer reads. What Is The Best Wood Stove Thermometer? Infrared temperature sensors work quite differently again, but these tend to be used in more specialist devices and settings. They are not typically found in standard, low-cost temperature gauges for traditional air or fluid heat measurement. What are the Symptoms of a Bad Thermostat or Temperature Sensor?

Dirt or moisture ingress can also cause problems for certain thermometer types. However, most models designed for outdoor use will be IP rated against this. The more consistent the temperature of the stove, the more consistent the temperature of the home. The ability to view the accurate temperature and monitor that temperature is critical when you are the primary means of supplying fuel to your source of heat. Information is power and a good digital thermometer is the best source of information on a wood stove. CONCLUSION Running a wood stove at too high temperatures can lead to premature damage of the stove, such as to the baffle plate. Having a probe in the fire box area or in the chimney flue will provide a faster temperature response and a more accurate temperature reading if that is necessary for your stove.

If you have ever left the doors or vent open to find your stove roaring and smoke billowing out of your chimney, your first first thought (after picturing the fire department dousing you home in water) is “I will never do that again”! I think I said that 7 or 8 times before I came up with the Tempsure Thermometer! I did want to spend some time on the benefits of having and using a GOOD stove thermometer. WHY A DIGITAL THERMOMETER IS CRITICALHigh-quality dial thermometers and temperature gauges are manufactured by many leading brands. You will find a diverse variety of models and configurations available online. Some models may also combine other types of digital reader - such as a hygrometer (for humidity), ammeter, auto meter, pyrometer or tachometer - into a single unit. Other products on Thermometers Direct that can help to detect the temperature of pipes and radiators are the Penetration Probe and the Pipe Clamp Probe. Both of these devices are reasonable and affordable. If you do not require a professional thermometer every now and then, these probes can help you out for daily determination of pipe and radiator temperatures. The Pipe Clamp probe has a range of -50°C to +100°C while the Penetration Probe has a capacity of over and above 250 degrees Celsius. We place our stove top thermometer on the edge of the top surface of our multi fuel stove so that we can keep an eye on the temperatures. If you do not mind a stainless and glass device permanently mounted on your stove or chimney, this may be the thermometer you are looking for. You will have to drill a hole in the surface of your stove or chimney, seal it up, and I would recommend stainless mounting screws to hold it in place (more holes to drill and tap). The magnetic thermometer we offer are ideal to attach to the radiator or pipes you intend to measure the temperature of. The temperature of the heat that is dispersed by the radiator or pipes will automatically be registered on the thermometer. These accurate readings will give you a precise idea of when to bleed the radiator to get the desired temperature. These Pipe and Radiator Thermometers can also be used to regulate the temperature of pipes in winters. This prevents the pipes from freezing and adding to daily stress.
