BTW, I did a temperature test, with a pretty good mercury column cooking thermometer (just try to find one of those, ha).

The temps weren't dead on, and I did notice that there seems to be some 'flutter' in the temp selection, like when I was setting the temp, the number readout was not quite congruent with the rotation of the knob, sometimes jumping up or down a bit. But once set, there was no flutter. I'll have to keep studying that one.

So my first run was:

Indicated Measured
140F 154F
150F 166F
160F 176F
180F 185F
190F 192F
200F 207F

Don't know yet what the repeatability is... that is important.
