Valiant Magnetic Log Burner & Stove Thermometer-Red, 63mm

Product Information

Each model of wood stove is designed, built, and operated differently, and they can come in a range of sizes and heat output depending on your needs. A wood stove can be operated without a stove thermometer but can be useful in helping the user to understand how efficiently a fire inside the stove is burning. A stove thermometer can help prevent a stove from over firing or being underutilized.

Stovepipe thermometers for wood burning stoves should only be placed on the front of the stovepipe and placed a certain distance up the stovepipe in line with the manufacturer’s guidelines. Stove top thermometers should only be placed on the top surface of a wood stove. Slowly close down the air vents to allow less air into the stove, without closing the vents too far and causing the fire to struggle.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. A stove thermometer should therefore be used as one piece of the puzzle to helping you to understand how well and efficiently you’re operating a wood stove. A wood stove thermometer should be used as a guide to understand how well a fire inside the stove is burning. A fire should be burning at temperatures indicated to be within the most optimum temperature range shown on the thermometer.

Place the Valiant Stove pipe Thermometer on the top, front or side, on a flat or curved surface. The built in magnet will maintain its hold on to steel up to temperatures of around 800°F (425°C).If a wood stove is burning at too low of a temperature, then then the wood may be struggling to burn, producing more smoke and generating less heat. The Valiant Stove pipe Thermometer has a robust design and a strong magnet, which is suitable for use on any hot steel or iron surface including stoves, BBQ, ranges, patio heaters, flue pipes or chimineas. The robust design and strong magnet of the Stove Thermometer meaning that it’s suitable for use on any hot steel or iron surface, including stoves, BBQ, ranges, patio heaters, flue pipes or chimineas. 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. These types of thermometers are calibrated to measure the temperature at the top surface of a wood stove and so won’t provide an accurate reading if placed on a stovepipe.

A stovepipe thermometer shouldn’t typically be placed on the top of the stove as it can give a false temperature reading We’ve put together this complete guide to wood stove thermometers to explain what they are, what they look like, how they work, where they should be placed and how you should read them. Allow slightly more air into the stove using the vent(s), ensuring that you’re not allowing too much air in, and temperatures go above optimum.

See our guides on how to use the vents to control a wood burning stove and how to use a wood burning stove for more information on how to operate a wood stove for the most efficient burn for maximum heat. A wood stove thermometer is a small non-electric thermometer that provides a reading of the temperature that the stove is burning at. Wood stove thermometers typically provide an optimum temperature range on the dial in which to aim for. The magnetic Thermometer clearly displays the temperature of your stove, enabling you to maintain a safe and efficient operating temperature and reduce fuel consumption.

The magnetic Valiant Stove pipe Thermometer is designed to display the temperature very clearly to enable the owner to maintain a safe and efficient operating temperature, which optimises fuel consumption. By placing a wood stove thermometer in the correct location on the stove, it will display an indication of the current temperature that the stove is burning. This information can help the user to understand whether the stove is burning too hot or too cold. These types of thermometers are required for double-wall stovepipes as the standard stovepipe thermometers are only suitable for single-wall stovepipes, as a double wall can affect the readings. Place the Thermometer on the top, front, or side of a flat or curved surface. The built-in magnet will maintain its hold on steel up to temperatures of around 800°F (425°C).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. If the temperature of a stove is indicated to be higher than optimal on a wood stove thermometer then the fire can be burning too fast to be efficient with much of the heat being lost up the flue. The robust design and strong magnet of the Stove Thermometer means that it’s suitable for use on any hot steel or iron surface, including stoves, BBQ, ranges, patio heaters, flue pipes or chimineas.
