After my first smoke and the meat towards the top of the smoker not cooking within the safe zone (40-140), I am curious as to at what level (grate level) should i have the ET-73 probe mounted? This is a masterbuilt gasser unit
For the smoke next week, I plan on having a butt on the bottom grate, just above the water pan, on the grate above that I plan to have a fattie and then on the two racks above that, BB ribs. What grate should i clip the thermo probe to? It appears, and makes sense to me, that the temps are higher towards the water tray and lower towards the top of the smoker, is this correct?
Any suggestions are appreciated!
