Dome vs Grid Temp

Got a flat going "Travis" style. Digi Q is reading 250 and dome right around 200. Does this sound right? Something tells me that the dome is usually higher than the grid. Perhaps I need to recalibrate my dome thermometer?

Presuming you are cooking indirect-is the Digi Q shielded from the direct heat of the lump...and I would check the calibration of any and all thermos. FWIW-Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.

I have the same issue.... try moving the BBQ probe somewhere else on the grid.The grid probe maybe in a hot spot? They might come together as the cook goes on.

The Digi Q wasn't near the edge- where direct heat got around the plate setter so I decided to check the BGE thermometer. In boiling water, it was only reading about 175ish. So I recalibrated that one and now Digi Q reading 245 and dome reading 280 which is kinda how I thought they should differXLBGE- Napa, CA by way of ATX

Yay. Mystery solved. I'll always trust a digital thermometer before an analog.
