I ran a test of the new Auber permanent probe today, with an autotune. I put 3 bricks in the smoker, and a water pan full of hot water. The Auber was set as follows:
C01 140 E01 t t01 0.5
C02 225 E02 t t02 10.0
I wanted to step the temp to 225, as I normally do. I put the Maverick box temp probe through the top blow hole, at approximately the same level as the fixed probe (3" from the top).
The autotune process was long, and the temps differed about 10 degrees. Once the autotune completed, and was settled-in at 225, the Auber and Maverick were mostly the same, or within 1-degree of each other. I'm satisfied that the fixed probe is accurate.
My autotune results, with the fixed temp probe, are:
P 62
I 902
D 112
I'll use this tuning when I smoke a corned beef pastrami tomorrow!
