Greetings from Mt Vernon VA!
Been testing the oven temperature of my Rival KC electric smoker. According to an old Taylor oven model that I have, the temp of my smoker seems to run at least 25-50 F above the unit's temp control dial. I can adjust for that, but having to open the lid every 10 minutes or so to check the temp is a good way to lose a lot of heat.
So I just got in the mail on Friday a Maverick digital temp sensor connected by a thin wire to the monitor outside the smoker where it belongs. (I test drove the new unit in the kitchen yesterday and set it in the oven. My oven, according to Mr. Maverick, runs about 25-35 F than the setting indicates.)
Nice feature to this unit is that it displays the average temperature once it reaches 30 degrees plus or minus the set temperature. Any one have experience with the Maverick temperature gauges?
