First thanks for the video I really loved this and wow that’s a huge difference with the soaker towel to get to 40+% RH. I few questions:
Was the water preheated before adding it to the water pan? If so what temperature? Was it taken to boil point?
The information you gave is not sufficient to get the relative humidity … the calculator you referenced calls for entering temperature and dew point, your instructions say to use the calculator with wet bulb and dry bulb temperature readings. Dew point requires a calculator also, it requires wet bulb and dry bulb temperature. Most wet bulb dry bulb charts online only go up to about 130 F. Can you provide a link for a calculator you use for smoking with wet bulb an dry bulb capability to 212 F?
Can you point to any information how you could do such an experiment for smoking temperatures above 212 F such as 250 F? Everything changes after 212 F when it comes to humidity and I have been searching for a method to get RH at a smoking temperature of 250 F. I do not have access to expensive professional smoke house monitoring systems so this would be something for us small guys!
