QD for temp probe?

I am building my Brutus and I have a pair of temp controllers I bought on eBay. I want to lengthen the cable and I would like to install panel mounted connectors.

I am not too familiar with these type of temp probes....other than I know the Sensor type is NTC (10K/3435)...

I assume the cable length/wire size does not matter? It would be nice to attach them via a panel mounted connector...which type would like good and work nicely? I attached a picture of my stand...

Thanks....

Nice build
Here is what we use for probes and here is how we connect them:




And here is where we purchase them:
Brewers Hardware 1/4" Compression Fitting
Disconnects

BTW, you may want to lower your burners a little

Thanks...

So those temp probes will work for a "love" style controller?

as for the burners...yes...I just have them mounted high to finish out the build...they will be adjusted for proper height for brewing....

Brewers hardware carries a variety of probes. And Derrin's products are top notch, that why we buy from him.

Thanks..Ill contact him and see what he can do for me...

im building probes now, for my netduino microcontroller. Are the probes in the picture above these? Brewers Hardware 4" Stainless Steel Temperature Probe End.

what sensors do you stick in there? LM35? Thanks!

What is the proper height?

That will depend on the brew kettles I use...I have not decided if I am going to go with converted kegs or SS brew kettles....

What I was wondering is, is there a proper height? do you want the flames just tickling the pot or in the flame color change? Is there a measurement I dont know

For banjo style burners, I suggest about 4"

What sensors to you use?

you, sorry

The probes/sensors in the photos are thermistors for use with a BCS 460. Because our stands are often custom, we don't have one particular type/brand we use other than to say we go with Derrin's products (BrewersHardware.com) due to his superior quality of product.

So when you get these from brewershardware the probes dont come with the sensor already installed correct? Its just an empty tube? right? If so do you know if the inside diameter of the probe will accept a sensor that is 5.2 millimeters in diameter?

We buy complete sensors. The cost/time for us to assemble them is not worth it.
