Hey All-
I have a JB w/WiFi that I have had for a few months. Finally getting to use it more frequently but I still am having trouble getting the temps uniform across the grill surface. I use a dual probe ThermoPro and the meat thermometer from the grill to measure temps across the grill surface. Grill software is up to date and probes have been calibrated in ice water and boiling water. At low temps, the grill seems just fine across the surface (i.e. 150). As I increase temps, it gets more out of wack and last night at 450F, it was +500F on the right side and 350F on the left/hopper side. I am going to readjust the firebox tonight, but was wondering what distance from the left side most JB users have their firebox at. Currently, I am at 9-3/4". Given the temps I had last night, I need to move it to the right side (move firebox to the hotside to cool off). Also, can the type/brand of pellets change this? I wouldn't think so as the temp probe should govern the heat. The reason I ask this is I just got a bag of PitBoss that I started using. Thanks for all advice and help.
