I'm pretty new to wood stove language. I saw "snap disk" used a few times and thought it was something other than a thermostatic switch. I finally got around to reading these posts and figured it out. I often wonder why people call things by other names that most aren't familiar with... in other words... why do we need 10 names for the same thing?
Isn't this the same thing they use in clothes dryers? When you look up the parts lists on clothes dryers it's called a thermostat.
I can look at the word thermostat and know what it is. When I look at the word snap disk I think of back pain.
Sometimes I think people like to use words that others don't understand to make them look smarter. I joke with my wife. She is a well educated woman and often uses words I don't understand and I say... you mean... She says yea and I say why didn't you just say that LOL so I don't have to go look it up?
She says life would be boring with only one word for each meaning. Literature would suck.
She says I need to read more.
Slap me if I sound stupid.

BTW, hopefully others that do a search on snap disk will find this and relate.
