    Bator and thermostat reading wildly different

    Bator says 103.7, thermometer says 100 right under the heat element and 95 when placed at egg level. Checked the thermometer again and it's reading 36 degrees in ice water. Nothing much to lose, only 3 eggs in there atm. Anyone had issues like this with glass thermometers?
