Questions & Answers

The thermometer is of excellent quality
5/5

This dial has a sealed dial, which I like. I had a previous one that fogged up and froze up Worked for a short while, then stopped. A quality instrument like this feels nice it feels like it was built with care. However, I like designations such as Active and Hot, even though they are not really necessary. With just a glance I can tell what's going on You can see where the temperatures The seeds need to be killed and I care about that A pathogen is any organism that causes disease.

Those who are older find reading to be easy! Each of the six compost piles has been taking a temperature every day
5/5

Our temperature began great, but after a short period of lowering, we added two beers to each pile, which caused the temperature to rise a minimum of 6 degrees, and one pile reached As a conclusion- A good beer is a good beer!.

A quality product that is easy to use and accurate
4/5

I am new to composting and have been told that I should get I quickly stumbled upon this Reotemp product. The workmanship is superb, the readouts are reliably accurate (when compared with the readouts from various other temperature devices), and it is easy to read and use. In addition to the thermometer, the company includes a composting guide in PDF format. I use the thermometer several times a day, and the readings it provides have been essential in understanding In my set up, I use 28" deep plastic bins and the 24" diameter thermometer has been just right.

You know it when you see it
5/5

You can't beat the price for this product. A very good product. The tool is rugged and is "a tool for life. " I originally bought the 24" model, but realized the 36" would be more useful to me, and that was the case. In addition, I purchased the orange probe handle (recommended by the pharmacy You'll find it easier to find in the pile, you'll have a firm grip when inserting or removing the thermometer, and it will protect the dial face as you use it. The design is cool, too- This is a really professional job! The world (IMHO) would definitely be a better place if all of the products on the market were designed and built as well as this.

Hay bales of all sizes work with this device
4/5

Our mission is to test the temperature of our round hay bales, which are 4 feet in diameter. There is a 2 ft gap in the bale where it hits. I'm very pleased with this device. If it were tested for moisture, we would be happier.

Quality of the highest order
5/5

Replacing a lower quality Reotemp with this backyard pro was the right decision. In almost a decade, the lessor unit performed well until an unfortunate encounter with a wheelbarrow led to its destruction. Compared to the original Reo, this new one features a significantly thicker I like it very much.
