I just finished my first ever pellet smoke on my new Brunswick. Have any of you ever checked the interal temp with an additional temp probes to compare accuracy? I have been using stick burners for years and always like to put several probes in to measure temps in several places the first few times I use a new smoker. I've also done this in electric cabinets smokers. I didn't test the Brunswick during the burn off, but during my first cook today I noticed a ~30 degree difference in the "act" temp the smoker was reporting versus the my temp probes. (My probes were showing a colder temp) I didn't notice the ribs taking especially long to cook. Wondering if maybe this has something to do with the heat coming from a fan, similar to a convection oven. Again I am a pellet smoker newbie. Trying to understand if I have a problem or this is just how they work.
Also, just to clarify,. the probes I used were air temp probes, not meat probes, and I have confirmed they are accurate.
