Welcome! Getting different temps is very common. Did you happen to test your probes in ice/boiling water to confirm if they are consistent with each other? To clarify, both probes are on the same shelf as built in...reading left and right sides?
I routinely smoke pork butt and many others at...
Nice. A a tray filled with pellet dust is what I use to keep temps low. Other's use a pellet tube as another option for you. Good call using bigger chunks next time. Smoked cheese is so good, you need more!
