temp probe extension

[Shane Woessner]

Anyone ever try to make extension cords for the maverick probes? I'm trying to get the heatmeter a little further from the smoker.

You can get 6 foot probes. I would not try to make the 3 foot probes longer, as that would probably change the temp reading

Made a 6 footer extension just to see out come..... The temp fluctuates +/-.3° F I have yet to see calibration with freezing and boiling temps... stay tuned

You can just add compensation for the leads... plus if you are just adding 6ft I imagine the lead resistance will not go up very much. It will be easy to measure what you add.
