Couldnt you also put it in the tub??? taped on the plastic on top of the UTH.
Thats bad bad bad. I could see that happening. It would probably have to get burning hot to get the probe to your desired temp when its inches or more away...........
The fault in thermostats.... There should be a output limit.
I think so, but I prefer it to be outside of the enclosure.. don't want it to get covered in piss LOL. When you getting that Pastel?
