We do offer US made thermometers, search for Reotemp Heavy Duty Compost Thermometer. -Peter Reotemp **Q: Does it measure the temperature at the tip of the probe, or must the whole 20" probe be the same temperature to get a sensible reading?** A: The sensitive portion is the last 2 inches at the tip of the probe. So you don't have to necessarily put the entire stem into the compost pile. **Q: Is it waterproof?** A: Yes! The dial is hermetically sealed (waterproof). **Q: Will this work to tell the temp in hay bales?** A: Yes. that is what I use them for and they work really well. I locate the bales that are the hottest and leave the REOTEMP in the bale and look at it daily. My last hay was not as dry as I would have liked and I put the REOTEMP in when it read 120F three days after baling. It went to 140F and then came back to 120 when I removed it yesterday. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Accurate and Easy-to-Use – A Must-Have for Composting *by O***H on September 11, 2019* The Reotemp 20 Inch Fahrenheit Backyard Compost Thermometer with the Digital Composting Guide has made managing my compost pile so much easier!
