Internal Thermometer Tips

[WiseOldBloak]

1. Don't leave the long stem thermometer in the HOTBIN (the display will either steam up like mine below or you'll bury it under a mountain of decaying waste).

2. When taking a temperature reading only insert the long stem 10 to 15cm (4 to 6 inches) to make sure you are only taking a temperature reading from the very top layer where things are hottest.

Could yours be faulty? Mine doesn't steam up and I leave it in all the time

Me too, mines been in for 2 years and never steamed up? But maybe that's because my Hotbin has never reached the advertised 40C-60C Haha.

The thermometer in my lid has moisture in it but the long stem one is fine. I suspect the seal has a leak. I have had my bin since December 2011.
