I just finished a low-budget exhaust elbow monitoring alarm system. Full writeup on my Project Page

Nice work. FYI - article Steve D'Antonio wrote suggested 165 F was a good threshold alert temp for just after water injection on exhaust hose.

Thanks for sharing

Thanks.

Yeah, I haven't set the final thresholds yet. Wanted to run the engines a bit to see where my measurement point settles out. Then i'll add 20 degrees or so for an early warning. They may each end up with a different number. Absolute temperature really doesn't matter for this application....
