Awesome. Thanks so much for the replies guys! I found a nice thermometer on Amazon for $91 which is a bit steep but my buddy uses it and it got some good reviews.
I might also go to a car-parts store and pick up one of those engine ones, though. :)

Hey guys, I wanted to ask where I can find a cheap/good thermometer that goes to around 1000°C?
Yes I know that's kind of high.. no wait... this is a Blacksmith forum... should be fine.
Anyways, could you guys make any suggestions? I'd prefer one with a needle (old-school gauge style) if possible, but electric is fine.
Thanks a lot!
Also I'm new, so if this needs to get moved then please move it.
