Evening everyone,
I have ordered my Heater Meter and believe I have successfully put it all together. When I first powered it up my LCD screen indicates the pit temp is 6 degrees and the fan is trying to run at 100% as indicated in the build videos. What I can not understand is when I plug in my thermocouple, my pit temp goes to 445 (or so degrees) and will fall when I grab the end of the thermocouple. I checked my solder work on the plug but feel I have got something else wrong. Would anyone have an idea as to why this is and what I can do to resolve it.
By the way I took this project on to learn a new skill and I will say damn you guys are smart! Thanks for the help.
Thermocouple is Perfect Prime TL1004- K-type sensor ordered off Amazon.
