Auber probe offset programming

[Ringer]

Hi all, I did the Boil and ice calibration tests for the probes today and here are my results:

Boil
Probe 1 - 209
Probe 2 - 209

Ice
Probe 1 - 32
Probe 2 - 33

For you more experienced guys out there, what would you program in for the offset values. Looks like a 3 degree difference on the high side as water boils at 212.

Is it close enough to just let it slide?

I'm not doing any super precision SV or anything, just smoking at 225 really.

The lock code is 155 .
I did adjust mine , but that's close enough really .
If you want to do it , access the lock code . Setting should be plus 3 . Exit out after the change , and cycle it off and back on .

Thanks, I have the wifi model so I think I can use the app to do it. Thanks for helping with the numbers, it is a bit confusing at first but that makes total sense now.

No problem . I'm all self taught with this . Made my living as a Carpenter , so I'm not the electrical expert some of these guys are , but I know my way around these things now . If you need help ask .

Will do Sir. Thank you. I got it adjusted quicker than it took me to type this with your help!

Nice! Yeah I would be bugged by not setting the offset hahaha. 209 vs 212 is not a big deal BUT when you are doing a brisket and it's expensive and you check temp to late then you would be kicking yourself for not correcting the temp :D

Exactly my thoughts. It could get expensive fast.

We don't know your location elevation so 212 at sea level and every 500 foot rise drop a degree so your good at 1,500' above sea level. I'd wait the ice water is right on.

I am @900 ft above sea level.

If it were me that test would be perfectly fine. Barometric pressure affects it but not like altitude. Once you cook, slide an instant read thermometer into the auber probe meat hole and see.

that test would be perfectly fine.

Kurt , I agree and good to see you .
Like the time we talked about it . Went from 30 degree temp swings to worrying about a 1 degree difference in a therm . Lol .

Had to find answers outside SMF because a certain Mod is bitchy and doesn't ask for variables like with other folks so just observing with less participation.

Patina on the sensor is fine even black but I check for no splatters and dry every smoke. All my sensors for the pit have been left outside in the smoker under a cover since I got them so to just plug in. Like the sensor in kitchen ovens have never been found, looked at and let alone cleaned.

 

[chopsaw]

I get it . I do the same with my sensor , but had a big temp difference show up after I changed the element . Had to reset everything , and also cleaned the sensor just because . Back to a steady blink now .

Also , just FYI . There is a high / low temp alarm on these also . Lock code is 188 .
The stock setting is 290 high . 0 low . I have no reason to access this , but just thought I would mention it .
