Manometer / Flue Draught Test - any recommendations which gauge to buy (for wood stove flue)?

[carbs for arbs]

Hi all

 

I'm looking to do a flue draught test on a wood stove flue and am a bit confused by all of the different manometers available, as it seems they are used to measure all kinds of things.  

 

Can anyone recommend one any models that are suitable (and won't melt!)?  

 

I'll only be using it once or twice, so the cheaper the better    Although if there are budget models I'd also be interested to hear whether they are worth it, reliable, etc.  

 

Many thanks

I'd use a length of 6mm clear plastic fuel tube. If you make a U with water in the bottom you will probably only see a few mm difference in height if you have the leg to the flue vertical and the leg open to atmosphere at a shallow angle this will accentuate the difference.

I have one that was cast out from a university lab [1] but you are a bit far from me.
