Does it come with a special temperature probe, or does it only measure the temperature of the multimeter itself, or does it work in some other way?

Bryan I just checked the instructions for my meter and it refers to using "special K type thermocouples" to actually touch something to get temperature, but I cannot remember if my meter came with any. That does not mean it didn't, I may have misplaced them. This function was not a big concern of mine so I never used it. The meter does read ambient temp just by putting it on the setting. Also be aware that the reading in Celsius, not F, if that is a concern you will obviously need to convert, however, not really a big deal. Hope this helps. Mike

No Tom. It takes almost instant readings of thermal temps, not measurements. I do have an instrument that reads dustances & it dies chirp. This does not.

Certainly. It will read the surrounding temperature -- in air, in water, in bread or wherever else. Just embed the temperature sensor (it's not really a "probe") deep inside the bread. The one I have is quite accurate. It reads 212 degrees F in boiling distilled water at about a sea level elevation.

It has an internal temperature thermostat that monitors the temperature of the unit and is adjustable with the read out in the digital display mounted on the top of the unit. It DOES NOT have an independent remote temperature probe used to monitor the internal temperature of the product being "smoked". The independent "temp probe" must be purchased separately.

It comes with two hybrid probes. You can use them to monitor two food temps, one food and one cooking chamber temp or two cooking chamber temps.

It reads infrared so it will only measure the outside temp. That being said I think that it soes a great job you just have to use some common sense.

Not really. It only checks temperatures of surfaces; which it does very well.

The lightmeter does not measure color temperature. Although it is very convenient and user friend for various application.

As others have said, you can probably use the metal-corded probe to measure oven temp if it's not touching metal. It doesn't do it concurrently as my old Polder did, however.

No it doesn't. But to be honest, the purpose of this thermometer for me was to use my phone (which has illuminated screen). So I don't do a single thing with the unit itself other than turn it on and plug in probes. Everything else can be set from your phone.

No, it can only be used for surface temperature. There is no probe to check internal temp.

The probe, or temperature sensor came with it. Let me know if you have any other questions. There are 3 dip switches on the back of the thermostat and one activates the sensor.

It doesn't have a thermometer. It has scissors. It has a lot in the kit - check out the description listed.

It does seem to measure with the tip as well. The "original measurement in 8 seconds" is not "stare at a blank screen for 8 seconds". You'll see the temperature going up every 1/2 second-ish for about 8 seconds until the core probe is reading the correct temperature. I can put just a little bit of the tip in and wait the required time and it will read the same temperature as if I submerged the entirety of the probe. Hope that helps!

If it's the one I have, it comes with its own probe. I have never used the probe but everything else works as advertized. If this isn't the one with a probe you can find the one I have at Amazon. My has Stay or Go on face. Frank

Yes it measures temp. But it did not last as long as the blue pen. You must keep the sensors clean

The meter package I purchased included the thermocouple accessory, which had a plug that would connect in the Red voltage(+) and Black (-) common receptacles. It would be possible to probe with the Red and Black test leads that comes with the meter directly to the leads of a J-K thermocouple for troubleshooting purposes. Otherwise you will need to to purchase the a thermocouple accessory from Kline.
