That $400 forge thermometer was a total waste of cash

Bought a fancy digital thermometer setup for my coal forge thinking I needed precision control. Thing lasted about 4 heats before the probe wire melted near the fire pot. Should have known better since I've been eyeballing colors for 15 years. My old Harbor Freight magnet stick does the same job for 8 bucks. Anyone else get burned by fancy gear that just fails on real shop work?
