Can this read the temps on a double wall stove pipe? Where do I put it?
1600846
Mine is on the interior single wall stove pipe, above the chimney damper. I do not know about double wall. I do not believe that is the purpose of this. I am not an expert by any means. But I was told, and I have used this on single wall, above the damper for two years..

Not sure what kind of stove you have exactly, but we use ours on our cast iron wood burning stove and stick the thermometer right on the top. It read very accurately and helps us keep the fire to non-creosote levels. It's great!

I asked the same question, since mine sits on a shelf alongside of my wall oven. Their concern is that the heat from such a unit will not allow the M/W to cool properly.

There is a 2" wire on the top left side that measures the ambient temperature and I would suggest you bend it upward for the most accurate reading. However, the wire will lean (or be pressed against any wall board or other covering and could possibly account for temperature errors. I found the upward position to be more precise when calibrated with another thermometer in my wine room. Placement of this device will also affect cooling and heating cycles within a room. I want my wine barrels between 60-65 degrees so the the thermo is placed on the side of the room with 3 wine barrels. My bottled wine is less of a concern in this matter and therefore sits about 10 feet away from the thermo.

Their is a hole in the cover of the grill. At that point it measures the inside temperature. I would think if you had a hole or made one it would do the job. It was easy installing it.

Yes , but a professional should install this and it requires additional thermocouples outside and or inside depending on your requirements . In addition , this readout is "very" weak and hard to view . Take that into consideration if your customer has difficulty reading . A standard old fashion wall thermostat "does" have its advantages .

No, I don't think so. It will measure your target temp at boiling but once you set the low temp you will already be over it when you hit start. I just don't think it will do that. I could be wrong. It has only one setting.

It should work just fine. I've used one for the past two winters to measure just how long the furnace runs. I used one last summer to see how much the house AC ran. Mine sits on the vent. The key is to place the unit where it will measure the maximum temperate swings as the AC/heater cycles. Another unit sits in greenhouse and is placed away from the heater as I want to know the temperature that the plants are at. I can still tell when the heater is on - for the most part - but the temperature swings are small and hard to see precisely.

I have used it on one. It works great since it can read very high temperatures. It can't measure air temperature directly, but the sides and floor of the oven.

I have never used the probes up to this temp but I think they may need to be encased in something to protect them. I would think one of the long pointed probes which are available would work better. I have only used the provided probes attached to the outside of a hot pipe to measure its temp.

Don't know. I have a wood stove and the surface it sits on is normally in the 300 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit range.

I measured it with a heatgun. On the outside, I got a reading of 42C (108F) directly outside the front vent. On the bottom, I got 36C, (98F). Maybe I should put it on top of a laptop cooler

Yes you would want to go with a thermal camera, This is for surface temp of an object. It could work if you are looking the wall on one side or another of the window. But will not tell you exactly where the leaks are. Just what wall on what side is colder.

You will most likely need an upgrade on the probe wire which will is specially designed for that kind of temperature. The device itself will do just fine.

You can if you have a way to secure it, but it only registers up to 500, so it may get damaged. The thermometer on my grill goes to 800.

The best location for the meter is on the stove top because that's what gets the hottest and stove top temperature is what you want to monitor.

I only use my 2 channel (only 1 probe operates at a time) for HVAC measurments. I do not use the probes that came with the unit because ther were only the wire type. It works great. Best of luck, For Clothes dryers I use a laser type to measure the temp.
