flue gas temps on G200
« on: December 11, 2017, 06:15:38 AM »
my flue gas temps have been reading on average 290-330 burning mostly seasoned red/white oak right now. I have two probes in my stack inserted 4 inches: a regular dial temp probe and also a digital wireless temp probe. Both thermometers are always giving me the same readings. Very interesting to see what the difference species of wood will do to flue temps when in full gasification. The highest reading I have seen was about 354 during a raging cycle of 23% MC White Oak

I have similar readings on my flue temps. Highest my red needle has it is 345. I burn mostly hard maple and oak though. Typical flue temps when gassing are 300-310.

Whats a good thermometer to use? Do you just drill a hole in the stack and silicone it in.

Richard gave me mine from polar. It is a miljoco. Dylan called miljoco and they wanted something like $130 for it! We googled the part number and couldn't find it online.
