[QUOTE="Johnwa, post: 16690, member: 4"] You are supposed to run the thermocouple wire all the way to the controller. Using some copper wire to extend it will sort of work. The reading you will get is the temperature difference between the hot and cold ends of the thermocouple wire. A long as the junction with the copper wire is at the same temperature as the controller I think is should be ok. Thermocouples create a small voltage that your controller measures. There is very little current so the resistance of the wires really has no impact. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
