Thanks, I found the loaf pan worked well for seasoning, but about 1-2” too narrow to accommodate the waterproof probes. There was plenty of air flow for it where the loaf pan hung over the back. I’ll have to wait until I find something that will protect it with probes in, or wait until I have 24 hrs with no rain threatened.
The foil lid had a hole, but it was covered up in the picture by the heating element.
The app worked great, so my concern about seeing through the cover was unnecessary. Once I have it turned on, I can use the phone to control it and see what’s happening. I’ll keep my eyes out for something on hand that will work.
Thank you so much for responding!
