Best For Gas Fireplace: Skytech programmable Thermostat

Best part: skytech programmable thermostat costs comparatively low and it is available to ship in 24 hours. They rock and turn your fireplace into a giant space heater. They can be wall mount or remove from it's base, if you want to keep it near you, but the wireless range is about 10 feet from it's conter part. When using the thermostat, the remote must be closer to communicate.
This fits many different varieties of fireplaces. If you want your home to be at 21, the temperature will rise to 22 and stop when it goes to 23 and vice versa, the furnace will change to heat mode when the temperature goes down to 20 and change to. The remote is what reads the temperature, so it should be located where you want it to monitor the temperature. It will turn on once the temperature drops 2'F and also will turn off if the temperature goes 2'F above the setting.Why We Like This:
- As easy to install as plugging in your vacuum

Best with wall mount: Skytech Thermostat
Buy on Amazon
Best part: skytech thermostat costs comparatively low and it is available to ship in 24 hours. This thermostat Control is a replacement for a 2002 Woodstock Stove with gas logs. It's designed to work on a millivolt gas valve system only. The screws that come with it are designed to fit into an existing gang box, which if you're going to go that route you should get a module that fits flush into the wall behind standard decora trim. The wall-mount unit requires the battery to operate.
The cover has one small hole for a standard switch and the other hole is large. It's battery operated so its perfect for applications which are not powered. The battery compartment is cheaply made and it is extremely easy to bend these little tabs down out of their proper position.Why We Like This:
- Safety feature that is built into the system’s receiver
- Easy connect to every gas fireplace with the no voltage switch
- Replaces a mechanical timer which was used for a gas log set
Best wireless Thermostat: Skytech wired Thermostat
Buy on Amazon
Compared with other products by Skytech, the skytech wired thermostat has a convenient design. If you are running off of a thermostat on a propane unit the fan will run for five minutes or so to keep blowing warm air off the unit because it is still giving off heat. It will operate on a standard low voltage thermostat than this skytech should work. It includes transmitter, receiver, wall clip, wall plate, installation instructions, and batteries. The wall mount is nice since the thermostat remote slides in so you can remove and use as a wireless remote if you want to.
The slave remote is just a SPST switch, normally open. When you plug the stove in after installing the receiver, the stove will automatically run the exhaust fan for approximately a ten-minute cycle. It should be fine on a 28V AC which is a typical furnace.Why We Like This:
- Battery powered receiver box with learn function and on/remote/off slider switch
- Effortless straight forward installation and operation
- Good overall functionality, easy installation, control the heater from practically anywhere in the house
Best with millivolt style valve: Skytech flame Control

The receiver has two leads with one lead being larger than the other one. It is a safety feature to prevent leaving this mode on unintentionally.

Best Feature: Easy to install: Skytech wired Thermostat
Buy on Amazon
Next on the list, we've got yet another product that manages to win our hearts. It's the skytech wired thermostat and it's widely considered as one of the best convenient products you can buy. It works, and is better than just an on off switch, but the temperature range (when it comes on and off) is baffling. It is made up of a remote(hand held xmtr) and a rcvr unit. It includes thermostat, wires, installation instructions, and (2) 3v button cell batteries. It will connect to your millivolt gas valve.
The thermostat is a two piece unit and slides on to the baseplate which needs a single switch box for mounting. It will work with any standard millivolt gas valve.Why We Like This:
- Wired wall mounted on/set/off thermostat operation
- Delivers what they promise
