Probe Calibrate Day

[BrianGSDTexoma]

Been having some issues with thermometer readings lately. I used this site to calculate boiling temp for my area. https://www.thermoworks.com/bpcalc



The Rec Tec been running about 20 degrees off. The probe was very dirty so cleaned it. Did not want to take it off to check so will just see how goes next time.

Had an issue on the one I use for home brewing and these need to be accurate. Ended up toss the old one as it was falling apart. I bought the Ink Bird 2 probe to replace. The 2 probe Ink Bird ended up 2 degrees low on both probes. I have issues with all my Ink Birds around induction that I never did with my old Maverick? Strange the newer ones freak out around induction and the old ones don't? Any idea's.

The BBQ Guru was running about 30 hot. I checked it after cleaning and only couple degrees off. Will have to see next time.

Most where about right. I have too many I think.

Well, it sure doesn't look like you'll ever be without a therm.

Thanks for the great information Brian. Your problem sounds like Electro Magnetic Field (EMF) interference from the burner. Goggling "induction stove thermometer interference" shows sites that have varied results of studies back in 2007 - 2012. From the sounds of it, the InkBird might be one that doesn't like the extra EMF. Here are a couple of sites that might help.

Sounds about right. I have two old style that will work just going to have to drill hole out a little where one goes as the probes are bigger around.

At my location, water boils at 203 degrees.
