Thankyou, it is the only way, when it boils the temp is 212F. infererd is not good for absoulte temps but relative. You get the emissivity value wrong, which you will, you will be off by 30f. you buy a cheap $40.00 and point 1 foot back and you are taking an average of about 1 foot diameter. Get a pot of water and an thermometer and be done. By the way I tested my water temp gauge (smith) it was dead on.
Your
oil temps are tooooo high, you should never see above 100C unless youi are hammering it for a long long time.
