The most basic design consists of a lens to focus the infrared (IR) energy on to a detector, which converts the energy to an electrical signal that can be displayed in units of temperature after being compensated for ambient temperature variation.

Can you ues a non contact infrared IR thermometer work on a grill?
You cannot use a non contact infrared IR thermometer on a grill.
How do you tell how hot or cold something is?
use a thermometer.We can feel how hot or cold something is. However, sometimes things are just too hot or cold for us to feel safely. At other times we need to know exactly how hot or cold something is. When we need to measure temperature correctly we need to use an instrument called a thermometer. This measures temperature in degrees Celsius [sometimes called centigrade] or degrees Fahrenheit. There are different types of thermometers for different situations. A medical thermometer, for example, needs to be very accurate. It measures in fractions of degrees. When we are ill, even tiny changes in temperature are important. Some thermometers use a liquid that moves up a very fine glass tube. Most room thermometers, and outdoor thermometers are like this. The liquid is either mercury [ which is poisonous] or coloured alcohol. As liquids get warmer they expand [get bigger], and move up the tube. Water expands too, but not as much as alcohol and mercury. Thermometers that might be used by small children are not made of glass. They use a digital display which lights up the temperature. Inside the displays are chemicals that change colour according to the temperature.

What is IR Thermometers?
A IR thermometer or Pyrometer is used where it is not possible to measure temperature with contact, IE very hot or very cold temperatures or where the object is a distance away. Infrared is in the 10-6 to 10-4 Meter band, this is called the thermal radiation band. It is between the microwave band and the visible light band. An IR thermometer, transmit a predefined IR frequency signal to the object under measurement, if the IR generated by that object itself is of a lower frequency than the received IR, that frequency is subtracted from the received frequency and that IR signal is then reflected back to the IR thermometer, this received signal is then used by the build in electronics of the thermometer to calculate the temperature of the object under measurement. Some uses: * Detecting clouds for remote telescope operation * Checking mechanical equipment or electrical circuit breaker boxes or outlets for hot spots * Checking heater or oven temperature, for calibration and control purposes * Detecting hot spots / performing diagnostics in electrical circuit board manufacturing * Checking for hot spots in fire fighting situations * Monitoring materials in process of heating and cooling, for research and development or manufacturing quality control situations
