 I'm confused about using the K type probe on my multimeter. But I understand that if the meter has an RTD to measure the cold connections, a correction can be made in the meter to make it read correctly. Does the Bryman BM235 do this making for no need to be concerned about ambient temperature. To illustrate my point, I have a sauna, if I take the meter inside and the meter itself is 180*F, will it measure floor and ceiling temps correctly if I leave the meter at the 180*F height?
  OK, my illustrative point is moot, because the operating temp is 14*F to 113*F, (-10*C to 45*C)
 But it does go to the point of my question.

Unneeded info, I'm curious about heat stratification in my sauna, I'm amazed at the difference between the floor temp and ceiling temp and want to quantify it.

I just reviewed Dave's thermocouple video,
It leads me to believe that most decent meters do have the compensation built into the meter.
So, I think the Bryman BM235 will have that. If you have more information please post it.

It's not certain if it will compensate for such high temperature and how accurate it will be. However I do not suggest bringing meter into such ambient temperature at all. You may damage LCD, and stickers or anything else holding on adhesive likely will come off. If you want to make measurements, buy a long thermocouple if existing is not long enough, and keep the meter out of sauna.

  Yes,  I noted the operating temp of the meter is limited to 113*F .
