Uneven Yoder

Start up the 640 yesterday. Ran 1.5 lbs of bacon just to test it out. Got a hot spot and unbalanced heating.

The 3 slices on the bottom right were over cooked and brittle. All the others were pretty close to even. I checked the foil this morning and there was no overhang on any of the edges.

Note the differences in the Yoders Temperatures and the RediChek. I never have gotten these to stay close to each other. I have checked the RediChek and it is accurate. This running on my second mother board.

Any comments?
