Careful of these low-price temp guns! We bought one for the restaurant it does not do the job properly! I cannot get an accurate reading at all! Find out what your local health department (restaurant inspectors) use. They HAVE to be accurate.Get one that can be calibrated, too.

As I was flushing, cleaning, freeze plugging, and generally getting my cooling system back to functionality, a borrowed infra-red temp. gun was invaluable. Especially since my "lesser" Chrysler has only an idiot light. They are simple to use, accurate, and could be used for all kinds of temperature readings, i.e., tranny temp., rear axle temp., brake drum temp., A/C air duct temp., etc. I believe they are less than $100 - and as Dave mentioned (which may force me to purchase my own), you can use them on the bar-bee.
