Cooking some ribs with my WSM today, and it's my maiden voyage with my Auber. Fired it up using the Minion method, threw my meat on, and set to target temp of 225. Two things I'm noticing:
1. Got up to 235-240 fairly quickly, then went way back down to around 175 without me opening or changing anything.
2. I've attached the alligator clip to the grate I'm cooking the ribs on, and I'm showing a difference between the temp of the grate and the temp of the air (measured using my Maverick) to be about 40 degrees, with the air temp being much cooler. Is this standard? If so, should I change my target temp to get the air temp where I want it (around 225)?
Thanks in advance, this is a nifty little gadget, hoping I can figure it out.
