Hey guys
Following a fellow Hearth.com member's advice, I placed my stove top thermometer in my oven to see if it is calibrated properly. I have a very precise digital thermometer in my oven and my oven has an accusensor for the temp readings.
I tried 200-300-400-500 degrees respectively. At 200, the reading was 50 degrees off. At 300, it was 75 degrees off, at 400, it was 100 degrees off. The readings are too high (IE when it's 400 it indicates 500).
Therefore it is safe to say that when it has been indicated 850 (the odd time), it is in fact roughly 700. FEWF!
Here's my question: I want to buy a decent IR gun (I guess this is a reason to go buy one...anything to justify a toy!). I live in Canada; any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
Andrew
