The stem is substantial enough to stab into a compost pile. The thermometer responds in a reasonable amount of time. In addition to leaves, my compost pile has small sticks, pieces of cardboard, food scraps, etc., The stem is sturdy enough to withstand pushing through these materials to check the internal temps of the pile. It helps that the end of the stem is pointed.My only complaint concerns the packaging in which it was sent. The first one I received had the stem bent and the thermometer face broken due to being packed in a flimsy cardboard box with no internal support and no protection for the glass face. I returned it to Amazon, and the second one I received was packed the same way. It's stem was slightly bent, but the glass face wasn't cracked, so I reluctantly kept it. Never before have I received such a poorly packed item from Amazon. Hope this is not a trend. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Works as advertised! *by K***N on Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2021* I wish I had ordered the orange handle that screws to the back side. Sometimes I have to push pretty hard to get it into my compost and fear bending it. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Well constructed *by F***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2014* I bought this thermometer to keep track of the temperatures inside my compost heap. It's well made, very sturdy, and should last a long time. My only complaint is the length of time it takes for it to reach the temperature. The indicator rotates very slowly. Often taking 2 or 3 minutes before it stops moving. I suppose that's not unusual for a mechanical thermometer but a digital thermometer might work more quickly. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/10281970-veegee-dial-compost-thermometer-with-glass-face-12-stem-3](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/10281970-veegee-dial-compost-thermometer-with-glass-face-12-stem-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
