    Best Thermometer for an Inset Stove

    I was wondering what thermometer would be best for an inset stove as it seems most of the thermometers are geared towards fire with visible pipes or fume. Is there a certain thermometer for inset stoves or would I just use any stove thermometer and try to place it on the stove itself?
