Fw: Measuring temperature

["Ron Larson" <ronallarson@qwest.net>]

stovers:

    Getting this message from the solar cooking list, I looked up the web
site below and found a good selection as advertised.  I have ordered their
free literature - but not yet ordered any equipment.

    My question is whether anyone on the stoves list has used thermometers
to try to increase efficiency.  I don't remember any discussion of this
topic.  Seems like we should be able to reduce excess secondary air and/or
change parameters to increase the temperature at the bottom of the pot - or
reduce it at the top and have a pretty good real-time stand-in for
efficiency.

    Some of the thermometers shown have wide temperature range, multiple
inputs, digital readouts and prices near $100.  Any thoughts?

Ron

My source for temperature-measureing equipment is Omega Engineering of
Stamford, CT (www.omega.com).  They are a supplier for industry and
laboratories, and they have a huge selection.
