I am about to pour my tabletop and am interested in installing some thermocouples in my oven. I wanted to get the fourm?s opinion on measuring multiple points within the oven. I am considering installing 8 or 10 thermocouples with the idea of mapping the heating of the oven. I think it would be interesting to see in real-time how the oven comes up to temperature, and when the bricks become ?soaked?. I have not yet worked out the details but it should be possible to feed all the thermocouples into a multiplexer and run that to something like an Arduino. I ideally would like to have a color LCD which would show the hot and cold spots of the oven.
I realize running 10 thermocouples into the oven will not be easy, which is why I wanted to start a conversation about it. Over time I can foresee some of the thermocouples dying and would need to replace them. Is there some way anyone has found to help facilitate this? I am thinking I would have a few under the floor, and at least one on the cooking surface. That would also be true for the ceiling of the oven, but perhaps this is too difficult. Let me know what you think.
Thanks for any input.
