    Red (Willow) Oak splits

    Red oak family tends to have more of a stringy loose grain where as white oak is tight. IMHO red oak has a lower heat output then white so I mainly use as a flavoring wood.

    4 Thermometers... 4 different temps

    Were the probes checked out of the box? I'm not surprised at different readings, could have been in rendering fat vein or tight muscle area. Ive stuck my hand held in next to my probe and its been a couple off. But I do test my probes on a regular basis so i know i'm dialed in.
