Are there any thermometers that you can put in clay ovens, or under a broiler? Most of the thermometers have a temperature limit of 350 ~ 400 degrees.
I actually burnt one down last year by turning the broiler on by accident.

You'll want a commercial oven or high heat thermometer.
This one goes to 750° F (about 400 C):
My Big Green Egg Temperature Gauge goes up to 750° F (about 400 C).
But if I want to monitor the internal temperature of what you are cooking in a hotter oven/broiler, I usually use a remote thermometer which has an all-metal wire and probe:
If all else fails, look up a scientific supply house (maybe Fisher Scientific). You'll be looking at more money, of course, and a lot of the stuff won't be certified as "food safe".
I was looking for a similar scenario, and I found this thermometer, which goes up to 550 C, so it would be apprepriate for a pizza/bread oven. It is designed to be installed in the door.
