Freonr22, yes the probe of the thermocouple is through the bottom of the steel pot, and sticks up into the molten lead by about ½ inch. I could have gotten a much longer TC that would have to be lowered down from the top into the lead. It would always be in the way and have to have a bracket of some sort made to hold it in position. I didn't like that idea, anything that gets in the way of fluxing and stirring the melt is to be avoided, at least for me!
