I'm finding that I have to constantly adjust my pit probe offset which I know is a no-no.
I started off with cheap wal-mart probes. It would run fine for the first hour or so then it would "run away" even though the analog dial on my smoker still shows (250f which I set for).
Of course I blamed the cheap wal-mart probes. I purchased Thermoworks TX-1003X-AP pit probe and TX-1001X-OP cooking (meat) probe.
However, I am experiencing the same exact issues. At first I thought it might be a grounding issue with the probes. Drilled some holes, inserted a coupld silicone plugs... Nope. Kept them running in my office to see if they would vary... Not really. It's only when I am doing a live cook.
Any ideas?
The probe I have in my brisket seems okay and matches up with temps of my pen. The pit temp is everywhere that I have to constantly adjust.
