temp/thermometer issue

I have a fairly new thermometer (dome mount). I calibrated it yesterday and it was fine. Started my lump, cooking indirect. Here's the issue...I've had my egg for 10 years so not a newbie. My temps were at 400 for 5-6 hours, even though A) I shut vents for a 1/2 hour and cooked the rest of the time with the bottom vent open MAYBE 1/8" and daisy wheel maybe 10% open. Ribs cooked like they would have at 225.
likely an issue with thermometer? Even though it calibrated OK in boiling water? Even after 5 hours temp only dropped maybe 20 degrees. I'm stumped

I'll have to try that. I think I have a cheap one somewhere.
