There are lots of different types on the market and spent quite a bit of time selecting this one. It has a clear display, works consistently which gives confidence in the accuracy of the reading. I use it regularly to adjust the air going into the stove - otherwise its difficult to judge by eye how hot the fire is getting. Pleased with my choice.

Nice product and great value, attaches to any metallic part of the stove as promised. I am slightly dubious about the optimum burn section though, and whether it differs for different size stoves. We have a big stove and it is very hot even at the bottom of the green section. I wouldn't like to try and make it get any hotter! Anyway, it's a good product for what it cost.

The gauge looks good fixes to the surfaces very well via the magnet. I'm already getting the benefit as I can now control the amount of coal/ wood I use in the unit to maintain the correct temperature for heating the house and making sure I have the most efficient burn so preventing tar in the chimney. I should have purchased one when I first installed the unit but better late then never.

Good product, surprising how easy it was to have the log burner running above the required temperature. Also bought a hear operated fan, amazing difference, log burner is in a large room of a 200 year old farmhouse with a high ceiling, we used to have cold spots but the fan has made it an even temperature. If you have a log burner I’d recommend buying both.

I was tempted to cut costs and save money and get a cheaper one; but reneged and bought the Valiant one. Glad I did. It is robust, clear to read and has a string magnet. Stuck it on the side of the burner (doesn't hold on the flue) and we glance at it all the time to check the heating/burning efficiency. You suddenly learn a lot from this little gadget!
