Hi,
I am trying out my newly built HeaterMeter today (Christmas). I am not using it yet to control a damper or a fan. Only to watch the temperatures of the grill and meat. I am also using a dual probe wireless thermometer sold by Big Green Egg to compare readings. I purchased a few different probes for the HeaterMeter so I have two different probes measuring the Pit temperature. One is a Thermocouple probe that I got on Amazon here:
https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0142RXG84/tvwb-20
The other is compatible with Maveric ET-73 bought on jet.com here: https://jet.com/product/6-Foot-Meat...-Probe-Only-/0c5dc94d171841b59f458de23243fab2
Unfortunately I am getting three very different readings. My Big Green Egg Wireless thermometer says the pit is 239F, the Thermocouple says 207F and the Maveric ET-73 compatible probe says 183F.
In the HeaterMeter configuration, I have the maverick ET-73 compatible probe configuration using the preset values for Maverick ET-72/72 and the Thermocouple probe set to 5 MV/C with no offset (this was default).
My Big Green Egg lid thermometer says 250.
I have no idea who to believe! How do I get these probes calibrated properly?
