Thanks!  Still a work in progress, Hopefully will get my side shelf completed this week for the Maverick I just ordered to sit on.  and I'd like to put some wheels on it so its easier to move in and out of the garage.

I may be too late ,I used a 2" conduit nipple from Home Depot. I don't know if it will fit the bung. I cut the hole.

Hi all, 

Newbie here, I just finished building my UDS. Doing a trial run with 4 pieces of thigh on there to get the grease going in the drum.

My questions is why is my temp probe on the smoker is reading at least 60 - 80 deg difference than my digital? 

Thanks

My dial thermometer is about 50 deg off from my digital. Wish I had a way to calibrate it.

wudy, evening.....  do a side by side check of the two therms... write down what they read and the "real temp".....   make a chart.....  Now you have two therms that are "calibrated"...   so to speak....   Use a liquid filled candy therm, or a digital meter, or a dependable therm for the standard....   check it in boiling water to verify it's accuracy or lack thereof...   be sure to adjust for the temp of boiling water, at your altitude.... 

Below is a chart to help out........     Dave
