Get it, you need it, think about your speedometer in your car. What would you do with out it.......In my book its better to be safe than sorry....
smokey stoker said:I don't know how he would get at his set up with any kind of thermometer. Maybe a thermocouple installation? Would an IR temp gun do him any good? I intend to get one. Harbor Freight has a coupon out for one, regular price $24.99 coupon $14.99. (Just an FYI. I do not work for or get any recompense from Harbor freight for any reason).
Concerning Jotul's Oslo, I just got one. The dealer gave us two mag. thermometers. The Jotul manual says to put them on the corners of the top even though the center plate does burn hotter. It also says to do break in burns of 200F, 300F, & 400F burns for one hour each. That makes a necessity of thermometers, for new Oslo owners anyway.
Question about accuracy though. There was a deviation of nearly 50deg.F. I adjusted both therms to split the difference but I have no way to tell how close to right they may be. Put them in the oven to test? Would that work with these or damage them? One primary reason I want the IR temp gun.
