I smoked Salmon for the first time the other day...chucked it into the offset alongside some tandoori wings, and a whole chicken. Just took it off when it was ready (about 1hr if nor a bit less). It was hands down the best salmon i've ever eaten.
My offset usually runs pretty hot, but looking...
Yes, stock thermometers are rubbish, but you're not exactly comparing apples to apples.
Lid probe is measuring the air at the point the probe stops. The other one is on the cooking grill measuring the air around the meat. They are always going to give different readings, potentially...
How about simply starting with less charcoal?
I.e. a half chimney, then just adding enough coals to bring it back up to that level as required throughout the cook.
I am presuming of course that, for the most part, more coals = more heat.

As it turned out, the delivery didn't arrive until late afternoon, then had to spend about 2...
So I just got my first smoker delivered on the weekend (a custom 16" Bullockhead Creek Hereford offset built here in Brisbane, Queensland), and thought i'd first try my hand at a mix of wings, pork and beef ribs.
I was really impressed with how well it all turned out.
After a little bit of an...
