Pitt Boss Lexington Temperature

[Davidb23]

I have a Pitt Boss Lexington pellet smoker. Should i go by the temperature gage on the hood of the grill or the electronic digital control board, because the digital control board will say its 300 degrees but the temp. gage on the hood will say its 100.

I never go off the gauge. Just use the temperature probe
Hopefully this helps you

I've never trusted anything but an external temp probe.

Ditto - I put a couple of temp probes on the grill grate when I cook. Not only do I think it is more accurate, but then I can also track it on my phone.

Got the Lex. I don't think I've ever looked at the temp gauge on the door. In fact, I've started putting my 4th Inkbird probe on a clip and using that for my actual grill temp. It reads 10-20F higher than the built in sensor.

Took the door guage out of my Lex in order to fit the pizza oven

I have a Lexington and it seems accurate though it always reads similar to yours. The best tool you can have is a digital thermometer to check your smoked foods. The Lexington seems to do better at 300 since there isn't a 275 setting. It's a nice little smoker and I haven't incurred any problems in the two years of almost weekly use.
