Then you are more measuring the cat temp than the stove temp. Like i said before. I'll take some snaps shots of a bur and post my setup. Its not the holy grail and i dont engineer these things but i love em, and would love to help others run their at their peak. Probably having a burn tonight.....

No insulation. The big theing here is WHERE is your thermometer. If you have it on the stove top directly above the cat it will read really high, the rest of the stove not so much. The Infrared (IR) temperature guns come in real handy in determining the best place to mount you magnetic thermometer. Also, Condar brand thermometers seem to be the most accurate. Those rutland ones are barley accurate to 100 degrees sometimes......

The heat shields are there to reduce the distance to combustibles. They also help maintain efficiency of the stove so don't try to alter them thinking you will get more heat our of the stove.
