Turbo Pork Butt Dome vs. Pit.

Put a 10 lb butt on earlier this morning.  Based on many posts here, I set the temp according to the dome instead of what's on the thermometer.  I'm surprised to see a 30 degree difference.  Dome is reading 350, pit is at 379! Is this normal or do I need to calibrate?

    Welcome aboard and enjoy the journey.  Above all, have fun.
    It is normal to have a temperature difference as you note.  They happen in your clock-box as well. 
    Absent anything mentioned in the post, all BGE's have the dome thermo so if a cook temperature is mentioned it is dome.  I would get comfortable with one temperature indicator and go with it. 
    Once you introduce multiple thermos you are in the trick sack of  "Which is correct?" and the answer is (if calibrated) all of them.  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.
