ChimGard® Energy Meter Woodstove Thermometer. Durable genuine porcelain enamel with yellow & orange zones clearly indicated on brown case -- shows safe flue temperatures at a glance. CALIBRATED FOR FLUEPIPES Review

I got this for my parents, who have heated with wood for a LONG time - I think it is almost 27 years now.For them, it is more of a gadget.It attaches to the stovepipe with a magnet, which can be beneficial because at temperatures over 800 degrees (which you should only have with a flue fire), the magnet fails and it will fall to the floor.This might be the only notification you get of a flue fire.Other than that, it gives you a good temperature range to keep you from creating too much creosote.

I'd say this would be a good product for someone that heats with wood but the furnace is maybe in the basement.It doesn't work so well for those of us that have the woodstove in the center of the house because you already know if you are hot or cold.

Product Description:
If you're using a woodstove, you need to know what's going on inside your chimney. If you're burning too cold, you could be coating your chimney with creosote, sending massive amounts of particulate matter into the atmosphere, and losing quite a bit of heat from your wood.If you're burning too hot, you could be wasting energy, damaging your catalytic combustor or even chancing a chimney fire. It's important that you know exactly what's happening, so you can burn efficiently, stay comfortable, and most importantly, stay SAFE.Condar patented surface thermometers are bimetal instruments that attach magnetically to your stove or flue pipe. They indicate the surface temperature, and by extension the temperature of the flue gasses. They're instrumental in fine tuning your burning habits for maximum safety and efficiency.The ChimGard 3-4 Thermometer is the most popular surface thermometer for use on single-walled stove pipe. Colored "zones" on the enamelled steel face indicate safe burning temperatures, letting you know what's going on. A cool-touch metal bail allows you to move the magnetic thermometer wherever you wish on the pipe, or you may use the safety screw (included) to insure the thermometer stays exactly where you want it, with no chance of slipping off the pipe.
