Mad Max Turkey: 2 thermomemters reading 2 temps

edited November -1 in EggHead Forum
I'm making Mad Max and with the DigiQ 2, and have the digi thermometer attached to the dome thermometer, and they're reading 250*, while the digiQ thermo is reading 335. I don't think the dome thermo is sticking into the turkey. I'm not too worried about it, as I'm trusting the digiQ, but does anyone have any insight into this?

Thanks.

    When you calibrated your dome thermometer in boiling water, what did it show?

    I haven't done that in a long time as the two are generally really close.

    I turned the bird 90 degrees on the grid and I think that improved the airflow. DigiQ dropped a bit and the dome thermo went up and the two are agreeing more. DigiQ has kicked the fan on to bring it back up, so I think (and hope) it's good.

    After stabilizing, the dome thermo is still about 25* lower than the digiQ. Not sure why, but that's how it goes sometimes. Keeping an eye on everything, so I hope it turns out!
