I’m up soon in the wee hours for a long Saturday shift, going to bed soon, gigantic riddle in my mind, gigantic run-on sentence, but I’ve racked my brain for an hour and I know I’m going to feel like a royal idiot when you tell me but I read product manual, I know this is a bi-metal (analog not digital) thermometer but–
–what is being measured from the 200F - 1000F range? A smelter? Can’t be food-related. Curing a buffalo carcass? Something automotive?
All I got is maybe materials tested for a Venus expedition? Or volcanic measurements?
It’s probably something as mundane as a foundry but still…what does this thermometer measure?

roast beef and BBQ ends at 200. There is literally no meat you want to take past 200 for melt in your mouth yumminess…seem’s 90% of this thermometer is useless.
@Stagger_Lee what your picture shows is a 20F to 250F thermometer which is more in line with everyday needs.
@kwg my picture looks 10X bigger than the meat thermometer with stem they call a BBQ.
I believe it’s one of the industries StaggerLee listed but I don’t think it’s BBQ/Food. On my way to work. Will ask owner what the model # is.
I didn’t post a link to the exact model - it’s impossible to read the info in the screenshot - but I wasn’t going to look through all of their models just to find the exact one for you. The point was the quote from the company, where they list typical industries that they sell to.
Tel-Tru makes industrial thermometers (plus temperature probes, pressure gauges, and some other things). Any number of industries might use one of their various thermometers; they are not specific to one industry, process, or use case.
I used to work in a manufacturing plant that had Tel-Tru pressure gauges, quite a lot of them. We also had a couple of precision thermometers for one product that we used to make on special order about once a year, and while I’m not certain that the thermometers were Tel-Tru I suspect they were.
I did not know that they marketed a BBQ thermometer (or any home consumer oriented product) until @kwg posted. That BBQ thermometer sells for significantly less than their NIST-certified industrial models. An individual end user doesn’t necessarily utilize the total range that it reads, only a part of it.
You’re going to bother an ebay seller with a question for an item that you have no intention of buying? This type of thing is why I stopped selling things online years ago.
If you really have some burning desire to find the model number, click on one of the pictures of the box that has a label on it.
NOTE: I cannot find, at the website or the manual, exactly what this is used for. Nor will I spend much more time figuring out exactly what it used for.
**these are called bi-metal thermometers, obviously analog, like the one you stick in a turkey…not the stems come in 2.25”-24”. My gut, which I did not share with you, was maybe it’s measuring air temperature since grills and ovens get up 500 maybe 600 max for a grill thats big and at peak.
So ovens yes. Stems don’t usually measure air temperature; some stems might? But maybe I’m wrong. I still don’t think this has anything to with meat. The 200 degrees would be on the high end of the thermometer, not 1000F…. But the item’s (AA575R)’s application is an “oven” for sure…but in what capacity?
Note the cryptic phrasing on page 8 as well “Preferred by the process, offshore, power, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.”
There’s my answer ^. Not meat. Something specialized that involves an oven.
Close enough to solved for me, thanks everybody for getting me this far.
There’s no “one thing” it’s used for. It’s offered for sale, and if it fits the required criteria of a purchaser they buy it and utilize it for whatever they need it for.
I was wondering about ‘exact’ thing but same with ‘one thing’: there is neither one nor exact. It exists in the manufacturer’s realm of the “process, offshore, power, pharmaceutical and chemical industries.”
Deep into the manufacturing processes of these 5 industries, where one would use this thermometer, according to Tel-Tru…I don’t need to go there :).
I’m happy we’ve narrowed it down to 5 specialized industries. You are correct: no “one” thing.
It maybe be for those people who instead of cooking a frozen pizza at 450 for 20 minutes can cook it at 900 for 10 minutes.We know there are those people out there.
