Morso 2110 draft reducer is cracked, looks burnt out

[maine_scott]

The 2110 manual recommends the use of a flue probe thermometer to assure that the stove is running within its limits...

My 2110 manual recommends a magnetic stovepipe thermometer but we ended up installing double-walled pipe due to tight clearances so I figured one of those would be inaccurate.

I'm definitely going to get some type of thermometer now. Do you folks recommend one on the stove top or a flue probe? Any particular brands or models that are better?

We have a magnetic surface thermometer on the stove top of my friend's 2110. It works pretty well for checking the stove temp. They run the stove between 450 and 650F. You can see the thermometer on the stove top in this post:

I just wanted to report that I installed the new draft reducer, replaced the door seals, added a stove top thermometer and have fired the stove up a couple times so far.

The thermometer shows the "Best Zone" as 400-650 so I'll be sure to keep it within that range from now on.

Thanks for all your help!

Good to hear that you are up and running again. That's a great stove. Don't be too concerned if the thermometer occasionally goes up briefly to 700 with a fresh load of wood. As long as it's normally cruising around 450-650F you should be fine.
