Hey all, first time, long time. That is if you count getting a large BGE for Father's day this year as a "long time". You guys are a wealth of information, and I want to thank you for the hours I spend getting lost here reading about my latest obsession.
Saw that Amazon was having a pretty large discount on these infrared thermometers, thought someone would be interested.

Caveat: I have no idea if it is good, but for less than$20 bucks... I just ordered one.

They are cool and I would recommend everyone get one. Great for finding cold spots in the house and hot spots on your dog and thing in between. They won't tell you the IT of your cook.

Lol, no, they will not tell you the IT of your meat, but they will tell you how hot your pizza stone or griddle are, won't they?

Ok, then I suppose this topic should have been OT... I guess I assumed that since BGE made one, that it could be used to measure temp in the egg. Thanks for the info.

So should we be cooking to OT now? So many things to keep track of while I'm drinking beer.Jefferson, GA

It would be one way of checking on the temp of your beer.

The laser makes for a great cat toy.
They are good for measuring relative differences between surface temperatures.______________________________________________I love lamp.. -
You will find lots of uses for it. I check the exterior temp of the Egg to impress company - 250º dome temp inside, 90º dome temp outside. My local BGE dealer really likes me, I've sent a dozen neighbors to him. Anybody that's ever touched the surface of their Weber and doesn't want that to happen to their kids will be interested in buying an Egg.
How hot is that iron skillet handle, and how hot is the skillet surface - things I occasionally want to know. My I/R gun is in a drawer next to the stove, my second I/R gun is in a drawer next to the Egg.
Get your oil up to 400º before dumping those taters in. You can lose over a hundred degrees in oil temp between batches... and getting close to hot oil with a Thermapen is not advised. Throwing a second batch of taters into 300º oil is not advised either.
Once you have it, you will use it.Indianapolis, IN
BBQ is a celebration of culture in America. It is the closest thing we have to the wines and cheeses of Europe.
Drive a few hundred miles in any direction, and the experience changes dramatically.

Just an important update, I received the device. My dog is approximately 84 degrees. This was well worth the 18 bucks.

Unless you are a vet please don't try to check the IT of your dog

I bought one of these a while back and threw it in the "egging" box. I forgot I had it. Thanks for the reminder.
