I wasn't sure where to post this, so here goes. I have a grain bin with a Shivvers Circu-lator in it. I do not have another bin to transfer the corn to, when I use it, I recirculate the corn in the bin. The bin is about 1 ring from being full of 19% to 20% corn with the exception of 1 hopper of 30% corn mixed in with the rest. I started drying the corn early this morning. I started the heater and let it run for about 1 hour and then turned on the recirculator auger and checked the moisture, 14 1/2%. I want 15% so I turned the thermostat down a little and went to work. I came home at noon and checked the moisture, 20 1/2%. Must have hit the wet corn in the bin. I turned up the thermostat a little and went back to work. I got home about 4 and checked it again, 17.2%. Then it dawned on me that the recirculator has never stopped running while I have been around the bin. Looks like I am going to have to find another grain temperature thermostat and put on the bin to get it to work right. I just haven't figured out how I'm going to know when the bin is dry enough to sell without a dock. Chris
