A man with two watches never really sure what the time is.

A man with 1/2 dozen thermometers.....

I guess my use of temp. probes is a little more individual than you guys trying to run a T500 according to numbers.
I simply bought half a dozen, and used the ones from the middle of the range.
They do what I want, even if not totally accurate.

I bought one of those temp displays from ebay for about 3.50 delivered, I checked it against a lab grade thermometer at 3 different heat ranges, cold, medium and close to boiling to find mine was spot on with cold and medium and only one degree out at near boiling so I bought a couple more as spares, now I will need to check my spares as if Anavrins was out mine may well be too, bugger.

I think even if they are out it's not really a problem as long as you allow for the difference, I'm saying this now but I bet when I finally upgrade to a good quality unit I will change my mind....!

Hi BlackMoutains

I bought some of those copper fittings for thermometers from stilldragon, sadly not used them, but I have used the digital temp probes they sell, the little black displays with the probe on a wire, they’re not very accurate, I have two and they didn’t read the same so I didn’t know which was right!!

It’s worth looking for, and spending some money on a good quality temp probe, you’ll get years out of it.

Thankyou will do , i have a thermocouple digital thermometer so will check the accuracy of the one I have

Finally got round starting my gin basket and product condenser build today .

For my sensor pocket I used one of these , bloody marvellous

You could just get away with a bit of 8 or 10mm copper , crimp and solder one end swag the other out to form a flange , drill a hole in your pipe and solder if in

How did you clean your colum before using it

I’ve got my bits soaking in water and citric acid , vinegar wash tomorrow and run a load of heads And tails through it

I installed a temp gauge at the very top of the arm, it helps me enormously.

How did you do it?
