I've got to a place where I'm thinking about the MT and temperature control.
The MT is an 80 QT SST pot. I can drill it and weld in pretty much what ever I need.
But, I don't know much about thermowells and their relationship with Thermometers and Thermocouples.
Do I need a thermowell for a thermometer?
If so how do I think about the depth/length relationship between the thermowell stated length and the stated length of the thermometer stem?
What about the thermocouples. Maybe a swagelock like pass through into the thermowell for that with some heat transfer grease in the well?
Never done it before, so I'm at zero here.
