It's normally not the K type thermalcouple probe that won't reach the temp, but the readout that's hooked to it. and when you start talking about Platinum Probes for temps about 2300 degrees F your talking serious cash for one.
I ruined a K type probe that Mifco sells for their hand probe by getting it too hot on a cast iron melt think I melted the wires inside the graphite cover, I know the ceramic insulators on the wires melted to the wires. If I can find it I'l take a photo of it and post it n here.
Its around here somewhere.
