I use the condar probe with my Auber but don't use the heat shield.

Thanks for the reply
Do you not use the heat shield because the probe is not long enough

My stove never came with one plus it's inside an old fireplace with firebrick behind it... I have no clue on lengths and things of that nature unfortunately. I would think with the shield you would need a shorter one like the one I posted but I'm not positive on that unfortunately.

Hi all!

The cat in my Encore will be going into its 5th season. I am thinking that I should have a spare handy. The difference in price between steel and ceramic (condar) is about 65.00.

I have read all about the differences in behavior etc.

What are your opinions?

From what I've read on here most people have better luck with ceramic. I was going to switch to steel myself until I read that it lasts just about as long since it's just coating on the steel.

Thank you Reckless.
Yes, I am leaning towards ceramic one.
I think that I can get one more season out of my existing ceramic one. I just want to have a spare one handy.

i have been using the ceramic one, and if it is worn out, VC has a replacement program... Mine cracked last year, and they replaced it for free!
