Howdy,
I have been using the WSM for about 5 years now and I love it. I also have to give this website and its contributors a huge amount of credit for helping me on my way.
I originally used a previous model of the 18.5" without a dome thermometer. I used a maverick et-73? to monitor the meat and the smoker temp at the top grill level.
I was given a newer model smoker with the thermometer. I am consistently seeing that the temp at the dome height is 20 degrees less then my probe temp at the top grill level. I can understand that zones would have different temp.
However, my question is "what would the temp be at the lower grill level consistently, if I use my probe at the upper grill level?" Would it always be hotter (closer to the fire) or cooler (closer to the heat sink of the waterpan)?
Thanks,
Troy
