I built a reverse flow out of a 33 gallon compressor. Overall I am pretty happy with it.

Yesterday when the chicken was done I decided to put the second maverick temp probe on the grate and keep the smoker going. In my picture, Temp 2 and 3 are the probes from the maverick. Therm 1 is my dome thermometer. Anyway, I was getting between 20-50 degree differences between the two thermometers. The one on the right was always hotter. Is this because my firebox is on that side? If I put another RF plate with about an inch between the other one, would that help "insulate" this firebox heat and keep my temps more consistent?
My smoker
My drawing of what is going on inside
MY THEORY???
