Volgelzang Stovepipe Thermometer

This thermometer helps you operate your stove more efficiently and safely. by providing you with important information you need to know to control your wood or coal stove. The Vogelzang Thermometer connects to your stovepipe magnetically so you can begin using it right away to measure the surface temperature of your flue pipe. The surface temperature of a flue pipe is normally about 40% to 50% less than flue-gas temperature at the center of the pipe. On dark flue pipe. readings are accurate to +5% of full scale. On galvanized flue pipe. add 15% to the reading due to the minimal light colored surfaces.

This thermometer will help you in many ways. First. by monitoring your temperature range. you can make your fires last longer. which saves on reloading. Cut down on chimney cleanings by burning wood completely in the best operation range. avoiding chimney fires by keeping from overheating. Lastly. it will help you extend the life of catalytic combustors by letting you know when you are overheating the fireplace.

For most accurate readings its recommended to place the thermometer on the stove pipe at least 12'' above the stove top.
