    Thermometer - Which is best?

    The chart includes offset for sea level barometric pressure, which varies. This effects the boiling point at all altitudes, per the linked chart. You need to add or subtract the amount in the final column to the altitude corrected boiling point.

    Ideally, you correct for barometric pressure as well. Here's a handy chart. https://ucfoodsafety.ucdavis.edu/sites/g/files/dgvnsk7366/files/inline-files/234958_1.pdf

    Masterbuilt smoker trouble
