How high of a temp can this handle?

I have had it up to 530 degrees . I use a infrared temp gauge to check the surface temp. I use a wire brush to clean it.

The operating temperature for that unit is 34-114 degrees. Anything more or less will affect the performance of the unit.

Don't know since we haven't tried that yet. But I think if you keep your temp under 500, it'll be fine.

I've had two different kamados that have thermometers capable of reading to 700 degrees pegged well beyond where they read to. It's definitely capable of reaching some pretty high temps!

No not at all. If you want to go above 140 deg. you need a optional controller. This controller can be remotely mounted so you can have greater control over the water temp.

The instructions say that it is safe to use up to 500 degrees. I guess caution should be used above that temperature as it may void the warranty.

It has low medium and high. It has thirteen different temps that you can set. Not sure of the exact temp. It is warm than extremely hot.

Yes it can. The temp range is from 0 to 10 and most of the work I have done is with a setting of 4 to 5, so plenty of range left above that. Also, the tip are easy to change and cool down fast.

We use it at 425 - 450. It's stone/ceramic, so I think it would be OK since it was probably fired at a way higher temp than 600 when it was manufactured.

I have just adjusted it as high as it will go -96 degrees! Hopefully, you will never need to turn it up that high.

you would need to ask the company. I cannot think of a recipe needing temps higher than 500 degrees.......at least none I use

According to the Troubleshooting section of the instruction manual, the unit will not operate satisfactorily if the temperature is below 41º F. I would imagine that all higher temps are okay unless the unit overheats in extreme temperatures, but that was not mentioned. I hope this helps. Rx

There is no way it will reach 160f. It gets only warm to the touch. it is pretty even across the entire length though, but i guess it depends on what you are trying to do with it as far as that goes. I have never done any temp readings across it, just by feel.

No it can not. This is a plastic unit with a very low air temperature rating.

Not sure I would recommend that high a heat. I have used it successfully to bake baguettes at 450 degrees F.

I would assume it is safe to use at that high of a temperature. Just make certain you remove the plastic lid as that is NOT oven safe.

In Florida with the high temp. it has not had a problem, it is kept on the lower door compartment out of direct sunlight, so it does handle the high temp.
