Two issues I have run into both regarding temperature.
The first one is probably the largest issue. The butt is stuck at ~185. I thought this was too high for a stall, so I wanted to check it out. The reading on my MES is 230, the reading on my Macverick is 228, and the temp on the meat probe inside is 191. I tested the Maverick last night in some boiling water and it read fairly close so I figure 2/3 takes it. Is this too high for a stall and require a trip to the oven while I figure out what is going on or do I just need to sit down and find something to do other than staring at this thermo?
While smoking a butt last night I ran into a problem with my new MES40. While it was heating up and I was trying to sort out the AMNPS I noticed the temp had switched to 275. I figured I set it up wrong(wouldn't be the first time) so lowered it and really didn't think anything more of it. But later when I glanced at my thermo I noticed the temperature was going up to 250+. When I went outside to make sure everything was ok I found that the control had reset the temperature to 275 again and it was trying to climb to that.
Has anyone else had this issue?
