Pork Butt Question

I'm doing a pork butt and want to cook it at about 225.  I'm going to use a Maverick to monitor the temp, but should I monitor it at the grate or should I attach the pit probe to the dome.   I frequently have about a 20 - 30 degree difference between the dome and the grate and over the last few longer cooks, the difference didn't disappear.

In the past, I always set the probe at the grate and kept it at 225 but now I'm wondering whether I was really cooking at 250 - 260.

    Put it where the butt is.

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    Btw, cooking at 225 vs 260 will only affect cook time
