    I don't understand these temperature variances

    I programmed the MES to 215. When it reached 215 and shutoff, the Maverick was 248. That is a 33 degree difference between the smoker and the Maverick. After shutoff, the temperature continued to rise to 249( an additional 34 degrees), the Maverick 286. That is a 37 degree difference. So what...
