there's ways to remedy the bump issue if you're still concerned, however. is your enclosure raised off of whatever it's on? you could get two blocks of styrofoam for the enclosure to sit on and cut a channel into the one on the hot side for the probe to rest in. you could also tape the probe wire to the underside of the UTH (facing the floor), but you can't tape the probe head itself.
Hi, just wondering about not applying tape directly to probe, what is the reason? I have mine taped to underside of mat right now, getting good temps..
