Review on Yeeco + K Type Thermocouple: Ultimate 0~1300℃ Temperature Sensor & Gauge by Brian Potter

I use this in conjunction with a "Leaton Digital Thermocouple Thermometer Dual Channel Temperature Meter with LCD Backlight" to measure the internal temperature in my propane forge. It gives me what I feel is a much more accurate temperature reading than the infrared thermometer I used before. The difference between the two methods was as much as 500ºF. I only have a 1" tip in the forge and I added a 1x1/4x6 piece of aluminum between the nuts as a heat sink so there is no problem with melting or even heating the plastic end. YMMV. I've only used it a couple of times so we'll see how long the problem lasts.
