tormentchris17 Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 i am looking for a place that i can buy a temp gauge or a thermometer for my gas forge. i tried looking them up and didn't have any real success. can anyone point me in the right direction? it has to be able to read above a welding heat. thanks, chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teenylittlemetalguy Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 What you are after is a pyrometer, they are not cheap. The sensing portion is a thermocouple and they come in different grades. type K goes up to about 2400F, anything higher will really set you back price wise. You probably want to get one that you can remove from the fire, because you can burn them up if you leave them in full time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
