I just bought a Trend thermometer, this one ...
Trend 3" themometer
It arrived today and I tested it in boiling water. It read 200*. Is this an acceptable level of error for these thermometers???
My Polders read 212* in boiling water. I paid $30 for this Trend and I'm ready to send it back. I don't have a lot of confidence in this thing.
And this is my second Trend. I bought this same thermometer in January of 2002 for use on my Kettle. I moved it to my WSM a few months ago. It reads fine till I get about 3 hours into a cook and then it drops 50* and never recovers.
Are these things lemons? Or is this to be expected? I'm wishing I'd never drilled that hole in my WSM.
