The probe is not reading the surface of it's own surface. The probe is measuring electrical resistance against a thermistor to determine an AIR temperature. Digital thermometers do not read an accurate surface temperature. They are not designed to do so.

A temp gun will read a surface temperature very accurately. That is what they are designed for.

There is a difference and it's important to understand.



You don't seem to understand.
