	One could use Tempil sticks. They are accurate and reasionably
priced.

How do y'all measure and control the temperature of your respective forges,
for accurate annealing? I don't have a pyrometer that goes over 1000ºF, but
I got ahold of some S-7 I'm going to use for center punches and which needs
to be annealed at 1500-1550ºF for 20-25 minutes (for a hand tool of this
size). I have no idea how hot my crappy atmospheric propane forge burns, let
alone how to maintain a somewhat consistent temp.

Help!
