Too soon to tell.

I checked it while running at 225 and it seemed to be about 5 degrees hotter at the bottom rack than the middle rack (reading the Tel Tru which was spot on when I had the thermometer at the same level).

When I increased the temp to over 300, I was getting 15 to 20 degrees hotter. I was playing with the controller though, seeing how quickly the pit would take to reach a higher temp and then to decrease temp to a lower temp, so I wasn’t 100% focused on getting accurate measurements at all levels of the chamber.

The Limo Jr. smoke stack is always fully open, no baffle to choke it down. I had my 10 cfm Guru fan open all the way as well. I was really impressed with the ability to simply dial in a temp, and it would go there and hold steady. From 200 to 325. The fan was working to keep the 325 temp going. Didn’t try push it above the 325 or below 200. Probably would need to choke the fan down to run it below 200.

I will do more measurements in the near future.

Just an FYI, the heat enters the cook chamber at a downward angle from the right side to the left (runs about half way across the chamber) and then hits a heat baffle on the the left hand side that is angled upwards from right to left.

I bought one in that price range. Everything else was higher. But that Limo will last forever.
