Hi! Looking for a legacy inlet temp sensor on 13 yr old Gene Cafe. It seems they've changed it and now you need new mother board and new sensor. Any ideas where I can find compatibile old one? Mark

peveleth, It is better if you start a post in the forum with your question. These shouts go away in time.

Bake A Round Alternatives
Gullygossner	#1 Posted on 09/08/2019 9:15 PM
1/4 Pounder Posts: 51 Joined: January 06, 2019	The pyrex bake a round appears to be a go to roasting chamber on many builds. They are very tough to come by in my part of the world. Are there easily accessible (ie Amazon) alternatives to the bake a round?

1/4 Pounder Posts: 51 Joined: January 06, 2019	I've tried cutting glass in the past by scoring, heating and then submerging in cold water. This has not yielded favorable results. Are you using a dremel or another method to cut the bottoms off your item of choice?

1 1/2 Pounder Posts: 1115 Joined: November 21, 2010	I scored the glass with a glass roller scoring tool thing, then alternated between hot and cold water poured onto the score line until it separates.

1 1/2 Pounder Posts: 1305 Joined: September 30, 2016	Unfortunately, no size in their offering is optimal for a roast chamber... All I found is 2 ¼" OD, which is too small, and 5" OD, that could be too big, and too short given the maximum 7" long offering... This is what I found in this section: https://www.greatglas.com/PyrexCylind...inders.htm ... maybe elsewhere you was more lucky...
