First smoke of the summer which is only my WSM's second summer so I am trying to remember all I learned last year. Starting with three racks of St. Louis ribs and not inviting anyone over in case I screw it up. 
Loaded up the smoker, put on the ribs, and put the Maverick probe in its clip on the cooking grate. It's not touching anything. It is reading 347. The WSM lid thermometer is reading 240. I stuck my Thermapen into the top vent and it also reads about 240-250. This tells me that the Maverick is wrong, correct? 100 degrees off???
What is up with THAT?!
Thanks for any advice you might have.
