my temps seem to stay around 200 f , but I think I have the wrong type of thermometer , the sensing bi metal strip is at the base of dial , maybe for regular stove pipe, any susgestions on a better probe thermometer

I too have a bl-2840 , I heat a new 4100 sq ft house & a 2000 sq ft garage in nova scotia , I clean it once a week , no troubles , works very well for me, dry wood makes a huge difference.
