Hello everyone I'm Matt from San Diego. I am fairly new to smoking and this seemed like a good place to learn. I recently purchased a GOSM (I think that's what you guys call it) from a garage sale. Brand new in the box! I seasoned it a month or so back per instructions I found here. I'm having trouble determining what it's actually temperature is when Im smoking. I have a redi check thermometer (dual probe). I use the little clip that was included with it to attach the sensor to the BBQ grate at the same level as the food I'm cooking (usually 3 or so inches from the food). It always seems to read low. I checked the door gauge, it was spot on to what the Redi-check gauge says when I tested them both in boiling water. Should I be placing the Redi-check gauge somewhere else? Can I drill a hole in the smoker itself for a more permanent placement?
Thanks for any help!
Matt
