"They might be hard to find these days though as they are being phased out due to the mercury"

I use a few different kinds to get a good "median" idea of what is going on. digital probes, dial thermometer, and red liquid wax thermometer. Also a laser-sighted temp gun for inside on the animals or a surface.

I have pointed this directly at the dial thermometers in the past and got similar readouts, so this way I know it can't be a real practical difference either way. Plus the gun has a quted accuracy of or - 1.8 degrees too, so who knows which is realy more accurate out of all these, they all show varying differences here and there, so what the heck can ya do?..LOL!

I got bent out of shape with all this too a while back, I mean they can send a man to the moon, but why do they bother with making digitals that display tenths of a degree when you never know if it is even within a couple..LOL!...geesh!

As long as they are all within a couple degree target zone of each other, it will have to be good enough for me I guess.
