Yup. 10% on a stove top measurement using an inexpensive bi-metal coil thermometer is reasonable to me. Accuracy costs money.
Exhaust Gas Temperature on a turbine engine - not so much...
The quest for accuracy is from my engineering disease. When you spend all day working for more accurate measurements 10% sends you screaming into the night.

1. Place the thermo on the door
2. What brand assuming NOT a stovetop model.

I suffer from the same engineering affliction - which is why I coughed up for the Tel Tru and the cheapo, and then spent the time flipping them around on the stove.
