Being the "Frugal" person I am. I saw that wal-mart has temperature probes for their thermometers. Since they are $8 for a two pack, I figured it was worth a gamble. In the config page of the heater meter I set them up as TX-1001X-OP (Thermoworks Pro Series) with the resist value at 10000 and 0 offset.

They seem to work. I took an insulated cup filled with ice and water and stirred them using the probes and compared it to stirring it with my Thermapen and it's within .2(F) degrees.
However, I feel I am missing something. I have not done any PID tuning or anything other than plug and play. I am going to assume I need to do some tuning because the 1hr graph is showing some funky oscillations. If anyone has dealt with the probes, please let me know your settings so I have something to start with. I am not clear on PID tuning. Searched the forums but there isn't really any ELI5 (explain like I'm 5) guides or anything I could find.

Any help would be appreciated.
