Help with my new Maverick

I just got a new Maverick 732. I am planning an overnight pork butt cook next weekend and need to confirm that the temp on the grid probe should be around 225*? I have two 9 lb butts.
TIA

250 will be easier to hold and won't make a difference to your cook
-
I shoot for 235 during the day, 245 at night. I've had to many 225 nights where the fire died. I'll also do a manual ramp mode @ 250 until internal gets to about 150 if I'm in a hurry.
-
Yep, 240 to 250's the spot. Like they said, easier to keep the fire going.
-
forget the grid temp. clip the mav probe to the dome thermometer probe and set the mav at 250°. supposedly, 250 dome ≈ 225 grid, but I can't say for sure since I've never measured it - never cared what grid temp is.
I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

Mike, how do you clip the grid temp probe to the dome therm Stem?? I'd like to try it, but dont know how you'd do it.
-
Since you really have no control over the grid temp just set the dome to 250 like everyone and cook away.
-
I don't mean to jump in on Michael, but you can just remove your Dome thermometer and stick the grid probe through the hole. What I often do is stick the grid probe down through one of the butterfly holes in the DFMT. Either way, it will hang there OK
-
I agree! Grid temp in most cooks is not important.
-
Thanks everyone. Makes sense. I guess i was hung up on the name "grate probe".
