I ran my stove last year for a couple months with only a stove top thermometer, and was fine and dandy with just that. Not knowing the stovepipe temp eventually took over and I bought a stovepipe probe. I run double wall, and carefully drilled the hole as straight as possible. WHEN THE STOVE IS UP TO TEMP, THE OUTER PIPE IS OBVIOUSLY COOLER THAN THE INNER PIPE, CAUSING THE PROBE TO TILT UNDER PRESSURE DUE TO THE NOW UNEVEN PIPE EXPANDING AND CONTRACTING. I personally feel the probe is unnessesary, but what do you guys think? Also, if I remove it, does the hole need to be cemented at all? I obviously don't need cooler air being pulled into the pipe. Thx, Be well
