I'm doing my first cook with the Heatermeter and of course am very happy with it. But a question:
The display says that my brisket will reach 205deg in 1hr 25 minutes. Neat! But how is this being calculated? Heat transfer is proportional to the temperature difference, so as the brisket temp gets closer to the pit temp, the temp rise rate will diminish. Is this being considered? Or is the current rise rate just being projected? Or something else?
I know that the gadget can't understand about the stall, but a calculation based on temp differential would seem to be feasible and I think it would give me something longer than the hour and 25 minutes that I'm seeing as the projection.
TIA
