Reading temperatures

[TomG]

Here is an inexpensive option that will read up to 2000ºF with a type K thermocouple.

TES-1310 Digital Thermometer

It's a lot less expensive than the Fluke, so when it gets melted, you won't feel so bad.

The same place also carries PID's if you want to control the temp. I used them on my anodizing set-up and they work very well.
