Yet another use for a IR Temp Gauge

[godale03]

Hey guys,

Thought you might enjoy this. This weekend I came down with some sort of flu and woke up feeling like I was running a temp. Well being the bachelor that I am I had no thermometer. So I happen to look down at my pile of RC stuff and saw my Ofna IR temp gauge. Well I stuck that thing up to my ear and pushed the button, and sure enough.... I was running a temp of 102.3. Pretty neat. Just thought I would share for those of you who find you are in need of a thermometer when none are available. The temp gauge seemed to work great... although I might have increased my chance of brain cancer. :hammer:

I only use the IR temp gauge on my meat. The meat probe caused me great discomfort.

My dad uses it to make shure the oven thermostat worked when we got a new oven. While we are talking about temp guns...
The orange ofna one says it has a laser but i can't get mine to work. Do you have to install a secound battery?

I've recently used mine to see how accurate the thermostat is in my electric griddle. It also shows hot and cool spots too.

You had no problem, I guess. It was just a real long probe.
