Thanks Allenb, the base I use is out of a popper and when I used a probe from the top I always thought the temps were right. I closed it off to roast inside so I put a probe on the side and think the temps are just wrong at pre-heat temps to use it as an ET probe.

Was thinking of putting a probe at the base on the side so I don't put it right into the middle of my heater which I don't think it would last?

If I don't drop the temp for Naturals and Honey processed beans I normally burn the chaff. I would have to test it again but I suspect the temp at 200F is closer to 250F or more?
