This is Very Cool.....Thanks!
I plugged it in, it said 68 degrees, YES! Programed the Temp and the pot started heating. It's sitting at 750 but the Lyman Lead Thermometer says 790. I broke out the other probe and stuck it in the top of the melt and it read 10 degrees more than the Lyman Thermometer. The lower Probe is silver soldered Inside the pot. There MAY be a 50 degree difference between top and bottom of the pot and if that other poster is correct another 10 degrees to the bottom outside. More stuff to explore later.
That lower probe is very close to the spout and the controller is awesome so for now I'll run it at 710 and be happy.[smilie=w:
Just cast 2 pots worth, about 600 and this works GREAT. I dropped my setting to 700 degrees and focused on hitting the sprue hole with lead. I'm casting a Keith semi wadcutter and sometimes part of the bullet nose would tear open. That must have happened when the pot temperature drifted up because it's Gone Now. Shuda done this long ago.
