Nice. They're great for checking grill temp and frying pans. They use them in racing to check tire temps too.

We have one to do just that alelover...they also work great to check each header tube if your motor has a miss ..the cylinder with the miss will be much cooler.

Great score Craig...they come in handy!!!

Nice---Great price.

I got one years ago as a gift, so I could check the heat of my wood stove & chimney at different heights.

Those things work great!

Smokey (our kitty) loves chasing the little dot around too!

Well, I guess that is the sad story.  At my age I would take mine to the bar to check the temp of the beer.

They are a fun toy.  Be aware, though, that when a pan has oil in it, you will get some really wild temp readings.  They like surfaces that aren't real shiney. (I think I made up a word).

Good luck and good smoking.

When I first met Mrs Bear, I was wearing dress greens, and she came over to me & held a transistor radio against me. I couldn't figure out WTF she was doing????

Then it started beeping, and I discovered it wasn't a radio, it was a "Stud Finder"!  

They didn't have Laser Therms back then, but I could feel the heat !

Looks like an excellent item to use when traveling with a trailer, to check the temp on the trailer brakes.....  some of those cities out there can do a J-O-B on 'em.

I won't go near that stud finder thing.  At my age they would check me with a thermometer to be sure I am still alive.

I'm sure they might not be as good, but those therms are available at Harbor Freight, and they are often on sale.

Good luck and good smoking.

So she was looking for a inflexible, square headed, dense guy? Good thing she found you!

I got one on sale from Thermoworks a while back, I wouldn't be without it now!  It's absolutely the best for tempering chocolate, I check my grill and smoker temps, my kids foreheads, the dog, my drink...It's one of the funnest toys ever!!  I just keep finding more things to do with it.   Bear, glad she had one of those fancy stud-finders, the old fashioned way could have been painful, but I like the idea of the best girl in the room tapping all the guys with a hammer until she got to you... you are solid, indeed.
