How to Measure the Safety of Your Fire with a Thermometer

wood_stove_thermometer

There is an optimum temperature for your fire and fireplace thermometers can help you to reach them.  Installing a wood stove thermometer will gauge the level of heat inside your firebox and indicate whether the prime conditions are being met.

On wood stove thermometers, the fire needs to be toned down when temperatures on a surface mounted stovepipe thermometer go higher than 480 degrees.  At this stage your pipe and stove are at risk of corroding and premature break down.  High heat can also cause the catalytic combustor to deteriorate quickly, affecting the overall efficiency of the unit.  Many wood stove thermometers use a magnet to attach to and read the level of heat in the pipe itself, an indicator of the heat inside the firebox.

Another type of wood stove thermometer is the probe style.  A 4” probe is inserted into the pipe to calculate an accurate reading of the temperature inside.  An easy to read, color coded face will indicate when the fire is too hot and likely causing damage or presenting a danger.  Keep a close watch on this.

The opposite problem can also be true and fireplace thermometers can help you to discover that problem.  When fires are burning too cold, creosote build up is high likely and dangers are present.  The fuel is not being burned completely, sometimes due to water content.  A low temperature indicator will signal you to stoke up the fire with properly dried and seasoned logs or put it out altogether and build another for a better burn.

Wood stove thermometers can come in varying styles.  Some are for use on the stove top, a convenient spot that allows you to read to temperature easily.  Others attach to or are inserted in the flue pipe.  Remember that the optimum temperature in the pipe is not the same as the outside measurement.  The inside of a stovepipe can reach temperatures that are much higher and still not damage the surrounding materials.

Monitoring the heat that is reached in your fire is not just for safety.  Make sure the life of the fuel is extended by finding that sweet spot on the thermometer and maintaining it there.  That will save you time on refueling and plenty of money on wasted wood.

For a small investment, your wood stove can work harder and have good temperature control with a fireplace thermometer.  Whether you opt for the stovetop, stovepipe or probe style, those fireplace accessories will all help your wood stove to be operated more efficiently.

Buy wood stove thermometers online or at one of our New Hampshire stove shop locations. Fireplace Village provides wood stove, fireplace and chimney cleaning service in New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

The National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) Standard 211 states, “Chimneys, fireplaces, and vents shall be inspected at least once a year for soundness, freedom from deposits, and correct clearances. Cleaning, maintenance, and repairs shall be done if necessary.” Fireplace Village recommends annual safety inspection and cleaning of all hearth appliances and related venting systems.
