Just bought Taylor probe therms', have question

[Ron F]

I just bought two taylor probe type therms and a taylor digital instant read therm. I just did the boil test and one probe was 206*, the other probe was 208* and the instant read was 208.5*. I was just wondering if there was a way to check what temp. water should boil at in my area as barometric pressure and sea level will make a difference. Basically I just want to know how close to the right temp. the therms are. I'm not worried about it, really. Just bored right now and have some time to kill......

ok....I just found the site I was looking for. According to the site, water should boil at 210* where I'm at. That puts the therms a little closer
to accurate I guess.....

Ron,

I had minor variations also with my Taylors when I bought them. I made notations on a small piece of tape on each therm, +/- 2*.

Bruce,

Great minds think alike! I took a really fine-point sharpie and did the exact same thing! Mine was more like +4* and +2* tho...
