Here at The Ceramic Shop, we carry a variety of pyrometers, which are devices that can measure the temperature inside of your kiln. These digital devices come equipped with a long probe, which essentially acts like a high-temperature thermometer - you simply place the probe in your kiln’s spy hole or protection tube, and watch the reading show up on the digital monitor. If you have an older manual kiln and would like to gain a better idea about the trajectory of your dial-operated firing, consider obtaining a pyrometer for more accurate tracking of results. These pyrometers are also great for fully-digital kilns, to either replace or further check the internal atmosphere.
