I recently bought a stopper thermowell from morebeer! and my STC-1000 temperature probe doesn't fit it. Has anyone tried hooking up a Ranco temp probe to The STC-1000? Would The STC-1000 read the Ranco probe?
 
Hi

The Ranco docs say it uses a PTC (positive temperature coefficient) sensing element. The STC-1000 uses a thermistor (negative temperature coefficient). The STC doc's are a bit unclear so I just measured one - it is a 10K ohm NTC thermistor. Since they work backwards from each other - not going to work in any rational way.
