I get the same results as you - mine also states that its temp is 248 deg F,
120 deg C. I'd guess that a rise of 20 deg F or so ought to provide better
results.

I'm toying with the idea of shorting out the thermostat with a toggle
switch, if this idea works then I might use something like a thermistor
circuit to stop the thing from glowing red-hot :-)

Could use an iron to calibrate the thermistor against?
