Pit controller placement with Woo2

I just started to use the my XL Woo2 with a heat deflector for long cooks (instead of the BGE plate setter) and I'm wondering where I should place my DigiQ DX2 pit probe. It seems like if I put the probe next to the meat (covered by the pizza stone) then the dome temp sky rockets. That made me think I should put the probe outside the pizza stone but that seems extreme to me. Can anyone share some experience notes?

    Pull the dome thermo and put it there. Out of the way on the cooking surface and no fried probe wires.

    Doh. So I must be an idiot. The dome thermometer sticks out and my Digi Q has a roach clip for the pit probe so I can just clip the Digi Q to the dome termometer. As long as it stays connected it should work. Is that what everyone else does?

    That's what we do...just get a good bite.  Dobie's idea of using it in lieu of the dome thermo is good too.  (Swordsmn using spouses ipad AGAIN)

    Well, I wasn't going to ask but how do you swap the pit probe for the dome thermometer?
