    UDS Version 2.0

    Probes are good. I checked them in boiling water and both read 214, so only 2 degrees off but when I put them in a cup of ice they never hit 32, they were in the mid 40s That I didn't like right? Wondering if I should return this unit.

    Ok I will only put a catch pan in the bottom to catch the drippings. The temp on the chicken probe is only 127 now and not sure if I should stop or what. These have been in for 2 1/2 hours now
