I take an old time thermometer used to take your temperature, those are calibrated in the correct temperature range. They don't change with the temperature, they only show the hottest it got so you have to be a bit careful. If you don't already have one you may have real trouble buying one these days. Thermometers have changed.How do you check the temp accuracy?
Hmm, I don't know if we have one of those thermometers. I know we have one at our cabin, but it is 6 hours away.I take an old time thermometer used to take your temperature, those are calibrated in the correct temperature range.

There is a method where you use salty ice water and boiling water but I don't like that method. That's at freezing and boiling, not at incubating temperature, and elevation above sea level or whether you are in a high or low weather pressure system could affect that.
Are you up to an adventure? I don't know what the Arizona extension service is like, but in a couple of states where I've lived if you set up an appointment the extension service will check your pressure canner to make sure it is working correctly. You may have fun trying to get them to check out the presets on your incubator, temperature and humidity. They may be able to check out a thermometer or hygrometer to make sure they are working properly if hey don't do incubators. You may have more confidence in getting them to do it than doing it yourself. Or they may know some place you could go to get your instruments calibrated. I wouldn't know where to start looking for that.
