Finally got around to buying a probe flue thermometer for my main stove. I want to start using it but I don't know how soon the stove will be "off." I've been burning continuously since thanksgiving and we've got a cold snap coming. I will have to sweep the flue at some point but I think I've got another cord or 2 to go before then.
Can I drill a hole while the pipe is warm? I'd do it right before a reload obviously so it's as cool as possible, and I've got some nice high temp gloves I can wear. The pipe is doublewall and screwed together pretty good so I don't think I have to worry about it falling apart on me. Is there any reason not to do this, that I didnt think of?
