I have a gmg davy crocket right now and hopefully will add a fullsize pellet grill in the next year or so. I just seem to be having problems with the gmg calibration with meat probe and grill temp.
I think part of that problem is not having very accurate thermometer to compare and test with. I have been using 2 cheap oven thermometers.one on each side of the grill to make sure grate temp stays even. I also have. Javelin instant read.
I smoked some tri tip the other day and the meat probe was reading 10ish deg off from the instant read which said it was at 140 .i let the meat rest covered with a corner lifted up to vent for 10 min then when i cut into the meat it was medium rare leaning towards the rare side in the thicker part of the meat.
I am just getting frustrated since this is not the first time its happened.
I am debating on the thermoworks smoke or the fireboard.
with fireboard I like that i can monitor it while running to the store etc if on wifi.and adding alot more probes in future for smoking several different things at once. Not sure what yet but the possibility is there. The price is up there
The smoke cant monitor on phone at the moment and will the wifi add on cost money or just be a download? The cost is way more attractive and really is all i need one grill temp and one probe?
