BBQ Temperature Gauge for Smoker

I have this magnet mounted on my wood stove to help monitor the stove's operating status. I rely on a wood stove to heat my home, so this product is effectively 'in use' at least 8 months of the year in my region. I have checked the accuracy of this thermometer against others, and they all read similar temperatures, so this is accurate enough for general stove purposes. I have used this on the stove, up to about 1100 degrees (F) according to a secondary thermometer. The magnet affixes quite securely, even to a round surface, and it has never fallen off by itself. The colored orange/red section of the gauge can fade to a more pale colour if heated over 700 degrees (F), as mine did; but this is above the correct operational temperature range for a normal wood stove and the discolouration is normal on such thermometers. By now, my unit has seen 3-400 burn cycles without any issue from the thermometer, other than the discolouration-which does not impair function. This thermometer works as described and is great for its intended purpose.

Works exactly as intended and provides accurate readings. Verified using an infrared thermometer for confirmation. Helps maintain the fire at the correct operating temperature with consistent, reliable results. Easily used. Size is perfect. Fits perfectly between my to fans.

So far so good. Seems to be doing its job

This item works great on our woodburning stove and I can see it from a distance which helps. It helps me be able to monitor the temperature that I need to burn wood at in order to keep too much smoke from leaving soot in the flu.

Love this temp. Gauge. It’s very easy to use with big numbers and love the red area that shows the proper burn area

They work well and replace old ones that were barely readable

Tried this on a US stove model 2000. Out of the package I put it on the stove about 12 in up the stove pipe as part of the instructions, and the needle would not move. I took it off tapped on it a little bit as per some other reviews, and it jumped into the 500° range. I took it off and let it cool off and it would not go back to 100 ° or lower. As per some other suggestions, I placed it in the oven at 400° to see if it would adjust, and it went up to 600°. After it cooled off, I took it back out tapped on it a little bit as many people suggested, and it will no longer go. Below 300° regardless of where it sets or hot or cold temperatures. 100% do not recommend this item.

*Update - The Seller contacted me when I made my issues clear. After checking with me about the various tests I had performed to make sure the device was defective or not; they were prompt at offering a replacement or refund. Since I had already ordered another unit I took the refund. With any mass produced item there are going to be mistakes that show up. I feel the quality is fine in general but there will always be cases such as mine when there isn't a test of every individual unit. I would still recommend the unit to try as most seem to work just fine; just make sure you order in time before it becomes a real need just in case something goes wrong with your particular one. Increased to 3 stars since I can't attest to the product, but the customer service was good.* Got the thermometer today. Built a fire in the wood stove on a chilly 44 degree night. Fire has been roaring, it's over 80 in the room and climbing, BUT the thermometer will NOT climb above 250 degrees. My thermo-electric fan is spinning so fast I can barely see the blades, and the kettle will boil in no time but still it won't climb. I've tried opening the flue wide open and leaving it that way (got the wood to spare at the moment) and the thermometer won't move above ~250 degrees. Tried moving it to the top of the stove and compared it to one of my grilling thermometer and the grill thermometer is reading over 400 degrees. I wouldn't mind it if it was a little off but 150 degrees is a bit more than an acceptable margin of error. I liked the colors of this one but if it's a manufacturing quality issue it might be a better idea to try one of the more expensive options.

薪ストーブの温度が解るため、薪の入れ方が解る。温度調節が出来るので良かった。

Although this is quite a small fan, it is very effective. It is extremely quiet when running and continues even as the stove cools. Excellent purchase, would happily recommend.

Having the thermometer to glance at helps reduce the number of times we open the door of the wood stove to check the fire. It also makes it more efficient for the chimney, to keep the stove at the proper heat. It seems to be accurate and the magnet is strong enough to keep it in place.

Pessimo ....dopo due giorni si è tolto il colore con le scritte.....sconsigliato
