Do alot of you folks use one of them and were did you buty it which is a decent brand. I dont want to spend alot of money because i just want to check stove temp. Unless there is another use for them

I got a Harbor freight jobby. Seems to wok ok.

I got the Harbor Freight one, too. Works ok for me. Standard price is $40 but often on sale or with coupon for $30. Sometimes you see it also for $20 e. g. on black Friday. It will depend on how long you can wait.

Harbor Freight . . . got it for $29.99. Still works, but for some reason the laser pointer no longer works.

I have the HF model as well. I say it works great but honestly, I'm not comparing it to a known reliable source so I could be wrong.

I know the magnetic ones I have on my stovetop read 200* different from each other and the HF one has a digital readout so it must be accurate, right?

Harbor Freight model on Black Friday for $20.00. Have no Idea if it's accurate.

 

[Stateguy]

Can you one of you guys try it on your cooking stove.Set the temp for 350 and see what it reads .Lets see how accurate it is

 

[KodiakII]

But..how accurate is your stove thermostat? Mine seems to run hot, set a 350 the wife still burns the heck out of things!

 

[Stateguy]

The once they sell at Harbor Freight only go up to 970F degrees.

I would believe that the fire box temperature is hotter then 970F

Models that go up to 1400F to 1900F seem to be much more expensive

 

[PassionForFire&Water]

OK ..... I see.
You guys are measuring stove surface temperature
