I’m trying to finalize my order with Fireboard.
I just came across this review:
“The description says this is for Sous-Vide cooking, something I have no interest in. I purchased this to use as a dome thermometer, and it works fantastically for this purpose. The extra length gives a more accurate reading of what my actual cooking area's temperature is. This is a wonderful alternative to using a grill-mounted probe (which takes up sometimes vital rack space) and so much better than relying on the piece-of-junk dome thermometer that comes with every grill. I chose the Thermistor probe, which seems to be a better fit for this purpose as it can read higher temperatures.”
I think he’s gotten the temperature range of the Thermistor Probe vs. the RTD Probe reversed, as the RTD has the higher range. I should think that the RTD probe would be the better choice for ambient temperature measurement.
Apart from that, however, does anyone know if and exactly how this (using the Fireboard Sous Vide Probe to measure ambient temperature) might work? The review doesn’t provide any details as to how exactly the unit was placed. I just love details. Lots of them…
