3 thermometers

[tennesseequail]

Ok...little giant still air

The one on the screen is 99

Digital is 100.8

Meat thermo is around 100

If I recall still air can have or even need higher? Quail is the egg

Still air needs to be 1F higher at the top of the egg from recommended species incubation temperature because of thermal stratification.
Have any of your thermometers been calibrated?

Ditto Dat^^^
This is how I test mine:

[tennesseequail]

Yes they have

My other hobby is beer making which requires calibration also I have maybe 15 thermometers in my house that have all been calibrated

98.9. This is on the incubator
100.7 on very reliable meat thermometer I've used a long time
101.5 on the digital inside

 

[tennesseequail]

All 3 humidity areas between 43 and 45. A bit high but I am not worried about that one much

Believe your meat thermometer and ignore the one on the incubator.

then ill leave it alone It is a little high at 100.7. but again, still air, and I don't think these Styrofoam units are ever perfect

Thanks for replies.

the funny part is that the Meat therm is almost exactly in-between the other 2. Those 2 would make me think too much about these eggs....
