Print PageStove Thermometers - DO NOT USE WITH OUR STOVES
We receive a very small number of calls from customers who have managed to damage
their stoves from over-firing, in almost all cases they have a thermometer fitted to their
flue.
The Fireballs are the world's most efficient stove because firstly, due to the unique
method of introducing air, the combustion chamber is extremely hot, and secondly, the
heat is extracted from the combusted gasses to heat the room before it enters the flue.
On the Westhay for example, the gasses have been cooled to just 247 °C, far below what
the stove thermometer will measure. Because the thermometer is not 'in the green', you
think that the stove is not operating efficiently, so load the chamber with wood and have
the air wide open.
This creates such an inferno that occasionally the ceramic glass can frost (something even
the windows on the space shuttle could not achieve during re-entry), and although it is
very rare, the stainless steel baffle can also be damaged, stainless steel melts at over
1500°C!
The ONLY thing that a stove thermometer shows is that you have an inefficient stove and
are losing a lot of heat up the flue, not a great deal of use really.
