( Sounds like you're saying mine is defective then. It barely registers the probe when inside the smoker. )
This is from your post before you edited it ,Which i saw last night' and was going to say that no I was not saying that your unit might be defective. And I was going to ask you how thick the steel was on your smoker. Because they say that can hinder the signal.
But looks like you have it working a little better.
Mine is in a thin walled Masterbuilt smoker in my Smokers Shack and also in a WSM down by the Shack or in my BBQ all metal on the deck.

And it is 40+ feet from my deck where the bbq is , and then the kitchen just inside there and I get a good signal.
But I am also waiting for I heard maybe wifi will be added in an update to the unit. We will see.
Glad you have it working better.
That shack is one of the coolest things I’ve seen
