Maverick grill temp and dome temp
Comments

Sounds like you need to calibrate ur dome thermo.
Dome is normally 20-40° hotter then the grid
Also could be your placement of your grid probe

yeah I know what you mean - I love the maverick. Yes, they will show diff temps. The dome is at the top - the grill probe is lower.Cookin in Texas

Dome is always hotter to start. They will come together as the cook proceeds. In addition to calibrating the BGE thermo, make sure the Mav pit probe is not exposed to burning lump. Don't use it for direct cooks.Delta B.C. - Whiskey and steak, because no good story ever started with someone having a salad!

When cooking brisket which temp should I go by ? Dome or Grill ? I have a "ponder" which measures oven / food.

I learned to cook on the egg based on dome temp only (the only temp provided by BGE). I never have any idea about the grid temp, nor do I care. When I use either the DigiQ or Mav, I clip the probe to the dome thermo probe. They don't always read exactly the same, but close enough.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

For info-when cook temps are mentioned here they usually refer to dome temp unless otherwise specified, as the dome thermo is the one thermo every BGE has. When it comes to what to believe with regard to multiple thermo indications the short answer is "Yes". If everything is calibrated (key word) then you are measuring the thermal gradients that exist within the BGE and are different depending on the cook type, direct, indirect, raised gird etc.
So I would get comfortable with one temp and use it as a reference to guesstimate the duration of the cook since the real measure of "finished" is the meat temperature. FWIW-
