Temperature reading

(1/2) > >>

davetro:
I have two 22.5" WSM with a GURU and Stoker. I have read several articles that state the temperature reading on the lid is typically on average 25 degrees hotter than when measured at the cooking grate. Both units, with the temperature probe mounted on the cooking grate from either the GURU or Stoker and also temperature readings from a Maverick 732 taken at the grate level, show that the temperature is 20 -25 degrees hotter at the cooking level than at the lid. Is this correct or am I doing something wrong? Any guidance would be appreciated.

toys4dlr:
Are you sure that the lid therm is correct??  I would trust the Stoker or guru probes more, but I always check the calibrations on all my gauges.

Gizzy's Smokin Crew:
I definitely would double check it. That's doesn't sound right at all

davetro:
Thanks. I'll check them both. I didn't think that both units could be wrong and have the same temperature difference.

Crash:
I haven't cooked on a WSM in years, but cook on Pro Q's weekly.  They are very similar products.  Our dome temp consistently runs 20-30 degrees cooler than the grate level temp. 

i.e.
Grate thermo (Stoker) - 250
Dome thermo - 225
