When you cook at a certain temp. Dou want the temp reading at the level where the meat is? I ask because I have a temp gauge in my UDS about a foot down from the top and I use a digital temp gauge at the top by the meat. The temps are different by about 125 deg. Should I have 225 at my top rack?

125 degrees or 25 degrees?  You want to measure grill temp at the level the meat is on (that's what it is cooking at).

Any uncured meat should be smoked at 225 or higher. Measure the temp at the grate the meat is on....JJ
