Most probally it will have an LCD or LED Display.
The Max chip they use gives you an automatic range of 0-1250 degc
With sub 1 Deg accuracy.

Youd basiclly be intrested in anything 600Deg c and up till it melts the pistons.

I'm with David, but let's get on the same page fellas. David I'm sure is talking about Farenhiet not Celceus(sp). I heard over 1400-1500 is where you start getting concerned about your temps. I just wish you didn't have to like weld in a bung. Any other way?
