OK... So I got my new Mav. 732 from Todd the other day and did the calibration with boiling water, ice water, and ambient temps.

This was the boiling water test results



This is the crushed ice water test results


And this is ambient temps in my house... we keep thermostat at 77`



So I guess I'll just have to remember that the temps will actually be a little lower than what I am reading on the Mav.
Next test will be when in actual use for distance the receiver will get from the transmitter... My 73 would lose signal as soon as I walked in the house with the receiver...

I will re-test calibration after after a few runs with it in the smoker and see how it's doing then...

Any suggestions on getting it spot on would be appreciated.. although I don't believe there is anything that can be done about it...
 
I used a very scientific method with mine..

Used a sharpie pen and put "+3 "  on the body..
 
Mine reads 216 in boiling water as well.  I have gone to my front yard to mow and still had a good signal.  I have gone as far away as I will ever have to and not lost signal.  My previous therm lost signal when I closed the back door like yours.

I found a 2 or 3 degree difference.

How close do I need to be?

Not like I am using them on a steak where I would use my finger anyway.

Good luck and good smoking.
