[Stoves] Stoves Digest, Vol 147, Issue 10

Mon Nov 28 17:15:11 CST 2022

Everyone;

I have been using a Stellate PM monitor for five years. Here is a link to
it and its capabilities -
https://www.amazon.com/stores/STELLATE/INDOORAIRQUALITYMONITORS/page/71387B8F-2B5C-4BD8-A29F-77568487D5B7.
Truth
is, I have been very pleased with this unit. It sits on my desk and I drag
it out once in a while to see PM levels. If I open the wood stove to load
it the reading will rise from 3 to a high of 13 or 14. It's data correlates
extremely well with air quality data from the weather Bureau and our local
television stations. Very pleased with it. I have even used it outdoors to
register PM in my work on TLUD's. I would not consider it accurate for
research on TLUD's but it is very accurate for general atmospheric
conditions.
