help with smoke n pit

[ivanh17]

name is Ivan from l.a. California. i have a smoke n pit and did some mods to it but my temps r still off from end to end like 100 degrees. I added a baffle, and extended smoke stack. can it b that my tuning plates r to thin?

Also what are you using to judge your temps (accurate thermometers?)? Meaning are you using two good thermometer that will give you accurate readings or is one a good one and one a factory installed one which are known to be off???? Just a thought/question. Yes more info/pics will help with input from others members.
