So why do they advertise it as 220? Bit of an own goal?

Could be the sensor is horrendously non-linear past that point or they're rejects from a 'proper' manufacturer, not guaranteed to sense higher than 220.
Thanks for the tip-off, will have to see if I can find a Lidl wherever I'm working next week. We have a pukka one at work I could use for comparison.

Well I got one, works fine as far as I can tell. Hit 347 degrees off the lounge coal fire and the workshop oven interior showed 225 with the 'stat set for 200. I imagine the discrepancy is in the 'stat, not the sensor

Have you had time to test it against the works one?
