Monte Carlo techniques are used iteratively to compute the radiative equilibrium temperature stratification of a non-grey, spherically-extended stellar atmosphere in LTE. The derived temperature distribution agrees well with that predicted by Castor's (\cite{castor74}) code, as also does the emergent spectrum. However, in contrast to such conventional codes, the adopted Monte Carlo techniques and associated temperature-correction procedure are in no way restricted to 1-D stratifications. Accordingly, this successful test indicates that realistic 2- and 3-D radiative equilibria can be similarly computed.
