Well, sigh.....I was so happy that UPS finally showed up last night at about 7:30 with my 2 Thermometers from Allied Kenco. I hurried and unpackaged them and put them in a pot of boiling water (standing of course lol) to check them for accuracy. I was very disappointed to find out that one of them was off by about 7 degrees. The other one was fine. So, naturally Allied Kenco was already closed but I managed to fire off a couple emails to them and someone was actually still there. He said that he would give my emails to Sales dept. first thing in the morning. Sigh again.....
Anyway, this morning I arranged to get another overnighted to me provided I send back the bad one. And they will send the new one immediately though, not wait until they receive the old one. But she warned me...."if we don't receive the old one, we will charge your credit card again". yeah ok whatever. I understand, no problem..just please send it fast.
So, I went ahead and mounted the good thermometer and it looks great!!
I will get this other replacement tomorrow. She said that they tested this one, so they know it is accurate. Hmmmm, you'd think they would have done that in the first place. Makes you wonder how many people don't bother to check their thermometers for accuracy and just slap them into their smokers without knowing if they are on the money or what.
This situation will delay my finishing that roll of film by one day. So, it may be Sunday or Monday before I can post the pictures of those Rib Racks and my WSM's with thermometers mounted.
It is so weird how something like this ALWAYS seems to happen to me. Just about every time I order something, there is some kind of problem.
I have learned to just take a deep breath of air and count to 10 and think of pleasant thoughts until my blood pressure goes back down...LOL
