Needa Thermometer

Putting older posts here. Going to try to keep the novice forum pruned about 90 days work. The 'good' old stuff is going to be put into appropriate forums.

Depends on what it's for.
If it's for a potstill, it doesn't need to be all that acurate, as it's only good as an indication of where you are in the run. Won't help much with cuts. Just a cheap meat thermo will do the job.

For a reflux column, the more acurate the better. I use a Digi-therm, from Professional Equipment. Once my column equalizes, the entire run only covers 0.3*C variance.
It is the very things that we think we know, that keep us from learning what we should know.
Valved Reflux, 3"x54" Bok 'mini', 2 liebig based pots and the 'Blockhead' 60K btu propane heat

But then again, looking at your avatar, I'm guessing you may be a Texacan?
