Best temp controller

[Gearhead660]

Looking to install a temp control on my wood stove. I just want it to monitor the temp of the flue, if I can add an alarm that's a bonus. Was thinking about a probe/dial thermometer, but would like a more accurate reading. What is everyone else using?

Same here. I like it. If you need to turn on fans a PID would be better.

The stove has a snap disc for the fan. Will have to check out the AT200.

I got the AT200 last year and like it. It's very sensitive. The big difference from the stack probe thermometer is how quickly it reacts. It's almost instant. Comparisons noted in the how to start a fire sticky link, up top.

A few years ago I put this together for my BK. It monitors flue, cat, and stove top all with alarms.
Maybe a bit more elaborate than what you had in mind, but I find it quite useful.

I was reading that, its what got the ball rolling in my head. Does the AT200 have an alarm built in?

Yes, you can order it that way.
