Quick question. I had always assumed that the lid was a higher temp than the cooking grates based on the Measuring Temperature in the WSM
page. On this page, it states that
I just put in two (yes 2 to double check) thermometers on my cooking grate in my new 18.5" WSM, and I averaged 30 to 40 degrees warmer on the cooking grate than the lid thermometer is showing.
Is anyone else measuring both temps? Are you experiencing the same thing? Maybe the lid thermometer that came with the WSM is off?
page. On this page, it states that
when the Weber Bullet reaches a stable temperature of 225-250°F measured through the lid, the lid temperature averages 12-15°F higher than the top grate temperature and the top grate averages 4-10°F higher than the bottom grate.
