Can someone please explain this to me so i stop losing my mind thinking I have a faulty thermometer or something?
Running a WSM 18.5" with DiqiQ DX2 temp controller and also Thermoworks Smoke thermometer. I have the DigiQ pit probe clipped on the top grate and I have my Smoke grate probe clipped right next to it. The DigiQ is holding steady at 225° while my smoke has run hotter the whole time with 5-15° differences. I know this wont make much of a difference in the outcome but how can there be such a margin of difference between the two?
I also notice up to a 20° difference when I take the lift off and the temps start climbing again.
I'll attach a photo for reference on placement
