Looking at adding a bulkhead thermometer to my 40Qt SS kettle, the kettle has a 15" diameter. Torn between one with a 2" probe and one with a 6" probe.
My first thought was a 2" probe will be less likely to get bent because it doesn't stick out as far as a 6" probe, but on the other hand a 6" probe will be closer to the center of the wort and I would think this would provide a better temp reading.
Thoughts?
