I have a Lee 4 20, and put the complete upgrade kit on it from My2ndRight...really made it nice with the rest and mold guide. I am assuming the lid will help the temp get up faster but being a total novice I don't know any difference. My question is on placement of either a TC or Thermometer....it appears in my search results here that most like to have it about 1/2" from the bottom, would you say this is correct?
What about distance from the side? Seems like if it was flat against the pot that it would be in the way the least amount for fluxing and adding ingots to the pot but I don't read about anybody putting it right against the side. What is the ideal distance to mount this thing from the side of the pot? I'm going to rig something up and want to make it the best distance possible.
Thanks for all the help getting started guys. My PID will be finished tonight.
