[greythorn3]

well look at this the difference in the gauges on my stove pipe readings.



The hand held IR temp Gun read 540F

wow talk about a buncha differences! i go by the rutland since its closest to the IR, this imperial from lowes is just way overboard.. bet it makes people panic!

They both are poor examples of a thermometer. I personally use a Tel-Tru that is always spot on with the IR. I have found the Imperial (Rutland) to be off as much as 100 deg. Here it's off by 50.

$47.74 + shipping. Pay once. Get what works.

We've had good luck with condar but not rutland. The condar is usually within 30 degrees of the IR.
