As far as the thermo wire goes... are you using innovate's TC-4 to digitize the thermocouple? I'm not an expert on thermocouples, but I guess there are a few things that could cause inaccuracy. Are you saying that when exposed to ambient conditions the thermocouple is giving readings 10C too high?

yes using the tc4. I ordered a thermocouple sensor kit from innovate and it works perfect so the wrong reading has something to do with the thermo couple wire in question (which was sourced seperately).
yes when exposed to ambient, temps are 10c higher than actual.
as of now, have one end of the wire to the tc4. The other end is about an inch exposed from insulation, twisted and soldered.
My only guess is that the wrong solder was used.
