Was wondering opinion of all on whether the grate temp probe is to be clipped on top of grate or bottom. I did a test on it yesterday in my vertical gas smoker doing some boneless skinless thighs with my Maverick 4 probe thermometer. I started with one on top & bottom in same grate placement. Meat was about 1" away from probes. Made sure meat was away from cable end of bottom probe also. Probes were 1 3/4" away from each other. Top probe read 224, bottom 249. I can understand the top probe being a little low from moisture coming off meat but 25 degrees seems a lot so put both on bottom all most touching points to be sure probes were right. Temps read 241 & 238. Let me heard your thoughts & opinions on this. Top or bottom.
Thanks for looking.
