    By the way, just a quick tip, if you haven’t already maybe try airgapping the sensor from the metal with some foam so you’re measuring the air itself.

      I have it positioned right now so that the probe tip isn’t touching any metal, but I’ll probably add a bit of foam. I have some incredibly irritating foam packing peanuts that would probably work well. I’ll go do that now.

      EDIT: here it is, in all its gloriously crappy, uh, glory:

      a picture of a temperature probe poking into the inside of a mailbox. A Styrofoam packing peanut with a hole in it has been put over the probe to stop it from touching the walls of the mailbox.
