Double Wall Thermometer
Happy pre-season everyone
Was going to order an internal probe-style thermometer and it is on backorder. Until it comes in, do the magnetic ones work for double wall pipe? If so, is my temperature goal the same? If no, any suggestions on thermometers to use?
2024 - Starting with the 25 then more late Feb.
2023 - 25 taps on 11 trees to focus on the process. 9 Gallons and lots of sugar sand. 35 people over for breakfast in April
2022 - 8 x 14 sugarhouse and a steam bottler. 50 buckets! 9 Gallons syrup and 4 pounds of sugar
2021 - 20 x 30 divided pan on a Mason arch, 34 taps and 8 gallons for family and friends to judge. Dad hooked as well.
2020 - 2 taps, 1/2 pint on a turkey fryer, About 3/4 pint syrup in two weeks - Proof of concept!
Are you talking about magnetic surface thermometers? They would not give a useful reading on double walled pipe. They really aren't useful at all. They react too slowly to be helpful.
Amazon has thermometers such as this one:

60ish taps on buckets

The magnetic ones just fall off at some point the magnet becomes weak with high temperatures. I purchased this one http://https://www.amazon.com/Condar...01D1J7YA&psc=1 used it two years already and it works good. Mounts with a bracket that came with it. Jay

Amber instrument has stack temp probes. I got mine a month or so ago. K-type.

Thanks for the tips. I didn't really think the magnetic one would be any good.
