Thread: It's cold

I sent a couple of pictures of mine, now if he will post.
Mine are the $13 clay pots.
First I put a 40w bulb in and pluged it in for 30 minutes. Used my infrared thermometer and pointed the beam just off center of the lid, 95 degrees. Replaced with a 100w bulb and let it run for 30 minutes and tested it, 116.5 degree. My oil heater is set at 71 degrees, I point the beam at a coil, 114 degrees.
At work we had some 150w, 200w and 300w bulbs, now if I can find some to buy.
Thank you for the link.

If you'll get the pot out of the way and take the temp of the bare bulb, I'll bet it's even hotter than that.
