I have 18 inch WSM and use it occasionally. I look at the lid mounted thermometer and also a Thermopro probe to monitor the temp. I use a Pitmaster IQ to control the temp. As would be expected there is a difference between the two indicators.
Now my questions. What is the most accurate lid mounted thermometer? Where is the best place to put the probe for monitoring the temp of the smoker? I am now attaching the probes for the Thermopro and the Pitmaster IQ to the same rack as the meat. I usually only use the top rack for smoking. If I did use both racks where should I put the probes?
I know that these are basic questions but I don't smoke enough to have the experience, so I ask the experts.
Thanks, Pete
