Hello gang! I have been experimenting a bit with probe placement and probe selection more for fun than anything. I keep seeing an interesting phenomenon that I wanted to get opinions/feedback on. In the picture below I have two probes monitoring pit temp. The first "Pit Temp 1" is a generic thermocouple aligator clip model, the second "Pit Temp 2" is a Thermoworks ambient - both are directly next to each other on the grate between two butts (2" space between probes and meat) They start off relatively in sync, then diverge greatly with the largest gap being during the "stall" period , and join back up for the final few hours.
I am trying to rationalize why this may be occurring and why it seems to be most pronounced during the stall? Has anyone ever seen similar?
