Every time I hit the thrift store I always grab some of the big round thermometers cuz they're 45 to 65 cents and I wanted to drill holes in my smoker and mount them since there's no temp sensors on them. Just got a glass of hot water and stuck a digital reader in with Taylor manual thermometers. They all read differently shocking.lol.
I can say the bottom right when I like the best because one it read the highest which I still don't know if it's accurate but it was the fastest one to start reading I'm sure that's the one I'll end up using. I think I bought three or four more and I'll have to find them that I just keep buying and throwing them in drawers and keep testing them all. I also bought a brand new one the other day like the manual ones that I'll have to test along the side of them. Right after typing the water has cooled I would assume
The big Taylor say 165, the digital says 160, and the small Taylor says 150. The digital and small Taylor took q good minute or two to climb. The big Taylor it was at max reading with 2 seconds. So which one is right lol.
Just stuck the new True living brand in with the rest. It's climbed Almaty as fast as my favorite and got to around 262.5 vs my favorite at 263! It moved lnot as smooth when it climbed.
