I'm having trouble setting my big iron temperature. It's the kind you get in the covering kit from Aircraft Spruce. I broke their cheap thermometer and bought one of those laser pointer digital thermometer. Cool tool but when I point it at the iron it never reads anywhere near 250 -300. When I place it down and point it at the service I'm ironing, it reads higher 250+. Don't really know how to tell what it really is....
When I point it at the small iron it reads correct. High = 375 or so and I can dial it down to get a constant 250 or so.

How have any of you set your iron heat temps?

Thanks, again, Don.
