Jeff,

Sorry for the late reply, just got back from work, Christmas, more work, a cruise, and yet more work.

The thermometer I received from FB is a BonJour brand "Laser Probe Combo Thermometer".

It's great fun!

Hi,
Does anyone know the correct emissivity setting for using an IR thermometer with FB modulars? Thanks!

Re: Forno Bravo's Infrared Thermometer

I'm going to guess that the emissivity characteristics of a modular oven would be similar to firebrick.

The default setting of my FB thermometer is 0.95. It seems to work fine on 90% of the surfaces I've tried it on. It definitely is out-of-whack on shiny surfaces (like my stainless steel chimney). But for the oven bricks, 0.95 is very consistent.
