Incubator Temperature Question

[oakcliffchicks]

I just got a maticoopx incubator and am doing my first hatch with it.

I have two thermometers placed in different spots in the incubator.

One reads 99.5 and the other reads 98.8, but to get to these temperatures I had to set the incubator itself as 101.

Should I keep the incubator at this temperature and just look at the thermometers I put in there or should I lower the actual incubator temperature back down to 99.5 regardless of what my thermometers say?

Mine runs at ‘102’ to get 99.5 avg, trust your thermometers, incubators lie, mine especially, I’m currently on Day 99, can’t reset the mileage so 8 hatches later…!

I guess that depends on if the thermometers are accurate

I have 4 different thermometers/hydrometers, two are govee, two are from TSC, they all four are pretty close, the TSC ones don’t have a decimal.
I lay my thermometers on the turning racks, get the temperature I want. 99.5, I put the eggs in and set the thermometer on top of the eggs and test it, it’s always a little different, I calibrate by what it reads on top of the eggs, I have really good hatches.
I have had the problem of one side reading different from the other with NR 360 and the maticoopx.
