Are any of you guys thrilled with the thermometers in your brew or mash pots. I'm using SS 8 gallon pots for both mash/brew and I just don't trust my thermometers. I've already changed out the one that came with the mash pot and the new one is better but certainly not good enough.
I think they are mounted too low on the pot and are picking up excessive heat from my gas burner. BUT that is what the pots were made to do so I would have expected the thermometers to meet the task. I don't center my pot over the burner any more but put it off center so the thermometers are a little further from the heat, but I still get erratic readings.
