I like the idea of a carb temp gauge ware can I get one?

I was taught and have read in several publications that you should
always use full carb heat if you use it at all.

I would agree with that. The only possible exception being when you have
a
carb temp gauge and can ensure that partial carb heat produces
temperatures
well above freezing.

I don't think there's really any significant advantage to using partial
carb
heat, and at altitude there's generally no problem running with carb heat
full on all of the time, if that's what it takes to keep the carb clear.
(Nod to the pedants around he possible exceptions being things like
flying through a cloud of volcanic ash, that sort of thing)
