Grain temperature probe

[Pan mixer]

I would like to own one of these but would like one that meant I did not have to spend an hour in the grain store testing temperatures - fast reaction would be great.

Any recommendations?

Lishman Barnowl. Fantastic system. Probes monitor 24/7 and send data to the inter web.
I can check the temps of my corn heap on my phone anywhere

We got it coz my son wasn’t spending enough time recording thevtemps correctly !!

Takes ages for temp to change. I know exactly what pan mixer is getting at

My ex brother in law used to sell probes. Think he traded as “grainsafe”. I think they were a good idea.

@strawturner , do you know if he still sells them?
They were a good idea, I wouldn’t mind some myself. As per the op, waiting for a sinar for the temp takes ages.

I had a grainsafe which was really good as it could be read from a distance. When it broke I couldn’t get parts or a new one.

Have one from Evans and Pearce now. It’s good but does take a while to settle on a temperature.

How do you know it's instant?
The sinar for eg is digital and shows a temp instantly...
But it's wrong (unless it happened to be in the same temp environment before)

How about a load of these on poles you can leave in place?
Can move them each time you read , instant temps

Stick it in the pile and push a button.normally leave it for a bit but does not alter after initial reading

I roll up my sleeves and stick my hand in pile. You can feel if its heating.

I have a feeling Lishman now sell them on his behalf, but will double check, they are pretty good bits of kit to keep an eye on a heap, the barn owl system is the next step up though and very good.

Meat thermometer from Tesco's does the same,the one designed to put in your joint in the oven with the digital readout on the outside .cost about the same I think

Umm, we don’t exactly see eye to eye.
