Just ordered an IR thermometer. Been really wonderin about the magnetic ones I have cuz outta 4 of them none read the same and seem to be anywhere from 50° to 100° diff. Gonna find out for sure come the end of the week when I get my new toy.
 
What kind did you order? I'm planning on getting one as well. I just don't trust these stove top ones.

I'm sure there are better ones out there but for 20 bucks and my budget this will work I'm hopein. Plus I can use it for workin on equipment at home and at work. Iffn I get it by Christmas eve I might even use it to see if the wife is hot cuz I didnt spend much money on her this year. LOL.
 
Most of them are pretty darned good. You can even get the Harbor Freight ones and be okay.
 
Got mine from Home Depot. Only problem I have is it is a 600 degree limit, but the way I figure, when the IR says "error" I just tell it "Oh, how wrong you are! Temps are just fine!"
