Lately my favorite invention is my digital pyrometer. Raku has been going
much much better with it. Eyeballing glaze if fine, and still necessary,
but I sure am getting greater consistancy with the pyro. Some one the other
day was started a thread about these things (sorry, I don't remember who)
and I thought I'd mention that I got mine from OMEGA. A dual input, for
around eighty bucks. Love it. Easy to calibrate and had it over a year
with no problems. They have a great website with plenty of support too.
Hope this helps.

Hi Leland-I'm the one who wanted input on digital pyrometers. I went to the
Omega site and it's pretty confusing. Would you mind telling me the model #
or other distinguishing features of yours, so I can locate it on the
website? Thanks for writing.

Hi Ann. Yes, Omega's site is vast isn't it. Now that I think about it I
dug around in there a few days before I decided what I wanted. A couple of
points. I've never tried any one else's pyrometers, so I can't really
compare, except price wise, and features. Also, mine, which is a
model "HH12" dual input, is only good to 1999 degrees F., therefore, high
fire stoneware is out with this model. Furthermore, I already had a type K
thermocouple, which was good news since the two cheesy ones that came
standard
with this pyrometer were good only to about 600 F. I think I might try
calling them, asking for customer service, and explaining exatly what you
are trying to accomplish. I'd guess they can set you up with what you
need. But now that I think about how I wound up using my own thermlcouple,
maybe the competiveness of their pricing needs a second look. Good luck.
