Would buy again for kitchenware and gadgets

Much more expensive than the competition but looks great and works as it should. The color doesn't fade like the cheaper ones.

Pros
  • Complete Set
Cons
  • Infinitely Sluggish

Required Supplement - Kitchenware and Gadgets

This type of thermometer is essential to the effective operation of Vermont Castings Defiant. It lists the factory recommended temperatures for dampening the catalyst system. It looks like it will last the life of the stove even though it costs a little more than others.

Pros
  • Keeping My Fists
Cons
  • Fits

But that's first and no need to bring cheaper brands back.

I tried three other brands (because they were cheaper) before settling on this one. All cheaper devices failed and quickly lost color. This one holds up great. It appears to be of the same quality as the one it replaces (which lasted over 20 years).

Pros
  • Positive only
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

The magnet seems to hold it when it's loaded.

Magnet seems to keep it in place when loading firewood. I have a defiant wood stove and fitted a thermometer to the hatch. My only complaint is that the temperature is around 30 degrees Fahrenheit (I used a multimeter thermocouple for comparison). It doesn't matter if you know the offset.

Pros
  • High marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Some little things

100 degrees. Too Hot

Used on our new Encore wood stove. We couldn't figure out why our oven would rise to 600 degrees or more after putting a small piece of wood in it. Our wood is really dry, but we've never been able to adjust the temperature for slow, even burning with a damper and primary air. We bought another thermometer and found this Vermont casting was 100 degrees hotter. Our infrared thermometer was within 30 degrees of the new thermometer. The oven is now working as it should because they didn't think we

Inaccurate - thermometers and timers

This is a typical device for measuring the temperature of a wood stove. I figured since this is a Vermont Castings device it would be more durable and accurate. But he showed a very high performance. So I tested it in my oven. It turned out that the temperature is 100 degrees higher than the temperature of the oven. So 700 degrees on my wood stove (Vermont Castings Encore) means 600 degrees. I think it's ok. But of course that is not correct. Also, it's a lot smaller than what I was able to buy

Pros
  • Quick change
Cons
  • Almost never
