Hey I have a question for the group! Does anyone know what type of thermocouple the Digiboil uses?

I’m trying hook my K Type thermocouple to it and it’s reading an error - E2 short circuit.

The purpose is the have it read the temperature at the top of a still column vs. at the bottom of the pot.

Anyone ever done this before??

Thanks!
 
Don't fall into that fallacy
Liquid will boil at it's boiling point, ascending as it boils off seperate compounds (which doesn't happen how you'd think in the real world)
When running as a still, just set the temp to 100c, use a voltage regulator to control the vapour speed
Trying to run off your reflux condenser temp will just lead to further fluctuations and more smearing of fractions
You can't just set it to 78.3c and ONLY boil off ethanol
