Is temperature really a big issue? If so how is it observed?

A lot of guys give it a couple or three minutes superheat after total
melt - and I used to . Then I managed to find a thermocouple that will work
with my digital multimeter . With a downloaded chart I can get a lot closer
to the temp I want . I think this has given me better repeatability in my
pours. Remote reading IR thermometers don't work ... or so it been said . I
haven't tried one .
