for your grill or smoker.
Aparently, the temp guages that come equipped on many/most smokers are crap. Mine was just that, crap.
The one time I used my new smoker on a Butt it came out sort of "medium". More fat thank expected and internal temp of 190* faster than expected. Factory thermometer never got above 250*.
Recently I fired up this smoker empty and let it heat for over 2 hours with medium flame (propane). Temp guage said about 240*. Stuck a digital thermometer probe thru the vent in the lid.
Actual cooking temp was not 240*, but 370*.
