Hi all.
Had a full load for the overnight burn last night as temps outside where well below freezing. I was watching the temps before heading off to bed using a magnetic thermometer (see pic for location, which is not from last night) and an inexpensive ($25.00) laser thermometer.
During its peak temp the magnetic thermometer, which sits right above the centre of the door, hit around the 900
mark (I had the fan running as well) .
The laser thermometer registered around 720-750
right beside the magnetic one. The laser also registered about 550
at the right and left corners just above the door. That was the highest temps it reached and then started to cool down slowly after that.
So I was just wondering which one would you consider more accurate?
The reason I ask is because if I base the reading off the magnetic thermometer, It was over firing, if I go by the laser thermometer, I'm right where I want to be ( I think).
