Ok, Seasoning up my new MES and Maverick. Did a Boiling Water test on the Mav', the Food Probe was 4* over Boiling Point, the BBQ Probe was 2* over BP...Close enough for me.
I fired up the MES at 275*F it took 45 minutes for the internal Meat Probe to reach 250*F, it was 35*F outside, no wind, and the Probe temp reading stayed there +/- 2*... So I stuck both Mav' Probes thru the exhaust vent and and set the MES Temp to 225*F and waited one hour...
MES
Set temp...225*F
Probe Temp...198*F
Maverick 732
Food Probe...241*F
BBQ Probe...250*F
So by this The MES probe is off by 52*F!...Is the problem the Controller, the Probe or Both?
The Mav Food probe read 2* higher in Water so in Hot air they are 11* apart, any idea why they are this way?
Suggestions as to my next move?
Thanks...JJ
