Cheap infrared thermometer

Lobster · 2009-11-21T12:47:36+00:00

I need to bite the bullet in the near future and attempt to balance my CH system - seems that the best way of doing this is by pointing an infrared thermometer at it.Anyway, had a shufti around this week trying to source one for a reasonable price (think they were around 30 quid and up last time I looked and thought better of it?) The one I found was one on ebay: 7 quid delivered I thought it had to be worth a punt! It arrived this morning and I'm impressed - seems to work OK, although I haven't tried calibrating it properly, other than pointing it at approximate 'knowns' like the inside of my mouth and the fridge.Even if it only lasts long enough for me to do the CH balancing, I'll be happy! Just thought it was worth passing this on to others.(no connection with the seller, just happy buyer etc etc etc...)

If it dies completely have a good look around. There are a couple of waterproof (to a metre I think) pocket cameras about. And phones.

It's her bloody camera and responsibility. Why should I look at the details?

But it doesn't need to be, does it ?

experience shows that if you put that culinary disaster in a pre-heated oven for 90 mins, it will come out resembling something edible in one shape or form
