some have tried too use the infrared jobs but most are not set up to read much more then 500 degrees. I have a fluke digital probe that uses K type probes but they are only good up to around 2300.
I gauge the temp of cast iron by stirring the pot with a piece of 3/8" rebar if the end melts off in the time it takes to stir the pot its hot enough to pour.
I know a couple of guys that have bought Pyrometer off of evil bay but haven't heard anything about if they actually were able to get them to work.
