(screw not included) Alternatively, this thermometer may be secured around the pipe using a wire through the two holes on the side of the thermometer. (wire not included) Operating Instructions: The best operating temperature for most wood stoves is between 230°F and 475°F and is illustrated as the middle zone on your thermometer labelled “BEST ZONE”. Temperatures below 230°F can create a dirty, smoky fire that leads to creosote buildup in your chimney. Creosote can be a safety hazard. This temperature range is illustrated on your thermometer and labelled “CREOSOTE”. A temperature above 475°F consumes more wood without additional room heat as more energy is lost up the stove pipe. This area is illustrated on your thermometer as “TOO HOT”.
