Those IR thermometers work by assuming the object you're pointing at has a 
specific emissivity (which is hard-wired in on cheap models), and also a 
certain temperature of environmental radiation.  Unless you set those two 
accurately for each thing you measure you'll never get an accurate 
temperature reading using IR.
