If you verified the MAV probe is accurate in Ice or Boiling water. Then that is the one to trust. For one thing the MAV is VERY SLOW to respond to temp changes. Depending on where you have the probe there will be a variation but 55+* is quite a bit.  If there is a drip pan under the meat, that will cause a temp difference. Give the system some time to stabilize and see where you are at. Also move the MAV probe to different levels to see where you are at...JJ
