REOTEMP Heavy Duty Compost Thermometer - Fahrenheit and Celsius (24 Inch Stem), Made in The USA

High quality and heavy duty compost thermometer. I use this to maintain the temp on my compost pile and it works as planned. Long probe so you can get deep into the compost pile for temps.

I make top-quality biologically-assessed compost. Turning piles at the right temperature is critical for killing pathogens, maximum reproduction of beneficial organisms and preventing anaerobic conditions. This thermometer is the perfect and most essential tool to get the timing right. I use it daily. It's heavy duty, easy to read, easy to use. Highly recommended.

This is an amazingly well-built product and is very useful in composting to take accurate readings inside the windrows especially since it has a very long, sturdy probe. Been using this for a while now and it is very resilient and very accurate. Also bought the added "cage" that protects the meter and the glass somewhat. Am very pleased with the quality and the accuracy. The probe is nice and long too with a sharp end that easily penetrates the windrows to the desired depth or area being measured.

It's been in my compost bin for two years now and has functioned flawlessly! And it looks like the day I bought it! I do however strongly recommend that the protective handle be purchased along with it: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KAGCEGC?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

I've been composting now for over 40 years and using a thermometer for the last eight and it makes a tremendous difference especially as the weather cools off and goes into winter. I typically monitor the progress of 4-5 compost binds or piles all year and was looking for a longer and more rugged thermometer which could be calibrated to replace my Reotemp Home Compost Thermometer so I purchased the 24" Heavy Duty model and am extremely pleased. With the handle screwed on it makes insertion and removal a lot easier into tougher material and I'm not afraid I will bend the shaft as I had been with the home use one. The larger dial is easy to read and it's very well constructed. If you have a need for a more commercial and verifiable version for everyday use this is just a great tool. My older home Reotemp with the shorter probe is still working fine and will be relegated to a spare.

It didn’t work; it came damaged.

Double checked the calibration on receiving it. It worked for 4 probes then the needle popped off. Get a couple in case you are the middle of a cycle now I am in a jam.

Didn't like having to make an adapter that threads into 1/2 in pipe threads. For the price, that should be included.

Strong, accurate and very useful.

Haven't used it alot yet but it seems really well built. Only takes a minute or so to read the temperature.

I ordered two 36" thermometers, the first worked fine and was calibrated easily, the second's hand was attached at the face but apparently not connected to the mechanism behind the face, as it was loose and swung randomly when moved, thus returned and funds reimbursed. Based on this I had a 50% success rate and am now slightly nervous of build quality, so I'm going to re-order (as I want two) and see if I can improve my odds.

I paid the extra money for it but wasn’t disappointed.The unit is very well built and very accurate I tested it with my digital thermometer and it was exact.
