Step 1: Place head between legs and take a few breaths.
Step 2: Are you putting separate temp gauges in each egg box? That will be your real cue for maneuvering the 'stat probe. You just need to find the area and spacing that gives you the most even temps throughout.

I'm going to pick up the small digital fish thermometers Tim posted on another thread to have one for each box. I have the AcuRite mounted inside the incubator and planned to put the probe of it in the middle egg box - but I'm definitely going to get more.
