- The world's 2nd coldest capital...
Strange - smoking my first two boston butts today and a couple of rib racks and I noticed that the grate temp (using another thermo) is about 100 F off at 300 F dome temp and at 350 F dome temp my grill grate temp looks to be 25... And this is after having the egg go for 6 hours - been keeping it at 300 on the egg but it would appear I'm actually smoking at 215 ish...
Anyway - find that surprising.... Should there really be that big a difference between grill temp and dome temp? I have the place setter in.
Even took the grill thermo (cheap oven thermo) and put it in boiler water along with three other thermos I have i=and it looks calibrated correctly... Could my f=dome thermo on the BGE really become uncalibrated after only one 1 hr cook last weekend...
Very weird..
Will post another thread about the butts when their done with pron... Made home made burger buns for the pulled pork yesterday... also got some ribs on the go :lol:
