Thanks. I think I'll give the harbor freight thermometer a try.

Thanks guys! Im really curious about probe thermomters any suggestions on those?

My current thermometer is terrible reading ice cold water at 80+ degrees, so I'm in search of a new one. I don't want to spend a lot of money and I hear some people use thermometers that are under $20 that work fantastic.anyone have any recommendations?

I know you need some sort of false bottom, but my cooler has wheels and that creates indentations on the inside of the cooler so...

How can out tell the efficieny just by looking? Also do you suggest a mashout?
