[Stoves] Measuring hot surfaces with an infrared thermometer

[nari phaltan]

Dear Crispin,

We used this technique way back in early 1970s to measure solar collectors
temperatures. The biggest drawback in these infrared systems is the number
on emissivity. This keeps on fluctuating and is very sensitive to surface
conditions.

All the best. Anil
