Need help rewiring new popper

I tried grounding the metal of the popper to earth via the mains power with no success. I do not have any switching regulator in my setup. 110v heater, 110v fan and the arduino is powered via my macbook air which is running on battery power during operation.

I suggest you anyway to keep the metal of your popper grounded to earth for your safety. I played around a bit before finding a solution that worked for me. Start by trying to undertand what's the source of your bad readings, so that you know what needs to be fixed.

I started out with a shielded probe but figured that was the source of my issue so cut the probe off and tried with exposed thermocouple ends. I have a feeling that the AC fan is the source of the issue, but rectifying the problem has been puzzling.

How did you connect the pots? and how do they work? Are they similar to sliders on Artisan-scope? Thanks
