Heat gauge (11)

I believe the answer is:

thermometer

(Other definitions for thermometer that I've seen before include "Instrument for measuring temperature" , "Device measuring temperature" , "Temperature-measuring instrument" , "Instrument with mercury or alcohol" , "Temperature gauge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and the Sydney Morning Herald.
