This is a "spike"? Surely this kind of tiny temperature variation on
the unit's board somewhere outside the oven does not have a lot of
relevance or effect on anything inside the oven where it is all
happening. And what is the tolerance and resolution of the temperature
measuring device anyway? Or am I missing something fundamental here?
I have long since stopped monitoring mine since it seems quite happy to
be left alone, but I used to see diurnal variations in temperature
reading several orders of magnitude greater than those "spikes".
