I've had my Ink Bird thermometer (1 meat probe, 1 oven probe) for a couple years now. Love it.
The last smoke I did, the oven temperature (inside smoker, actually) was reading 225˚. All is good.
About 3 hours into the smoke, the brisket was already up to 165˚ internal temperature. My briskets never get to that temperature so quick.
I put an oven thermometer inside the smoker to verify. My fire was at almost 300˚ I've never had this happen before. I've not smoked since that incident.
Could there be a creosote buildup on the probe? Any other common causes that you know of?
Thanks in advance.
