Thanks. I like that one. Thinking future, I could spend $70 and get one with a higher temp range. I see some at Home Depot that brag about emisivity abilities and 1200 F high temp readings... could montior catalyst temps with a thermometer like that...
EDIT: Pulled the trigger and bought General Tools Industrial IR Thermometer with K Probe and Adjustable Emissivity. Great temp range in IR and the K-Probe and emisivity options seemed interesting. Paid $76... I can live with that. I'll use this for a few types of measurement tasks.
