I wrote earlier that the bias offset adjustment knob on the Omega HH12B thermocouple only adjusts to a fraction of one degree. That's wrong. I remembered that wrong. Or I hesitated to turn the screw the whole way. Anyway, just now I set it to the T1-T2 mode, and then turned the OFFSET all the way

Lewan told me that the thermocouples from the handheld meter were taped to the outside of the metal pipe, and then very well insulated. People may complain, but actually that is a fine way to do it, in my experience. In the video, Rossi unwrapped the pipe and showed where the thermocouples were
