I have a 4.2 heatermeter. I use a thermocouple for the pit probe.
Recently, for homebrewing, I bought a handheld quick-read temp probe - cheap China off of ebay. I thought I'd compare the readings in my Costco Pit Boss grill.
With the probes within 1" of each other, there is a 30F difference. The thermocouple reads 30 degrees lower than the handheld temp gadget.
I'm guessing I should not put in a -30 for offset for the pit probe.....but question what to do.
The China hand-held reads near the same as the grill temp sensor at the top of the lid.
Suggestions?
