Put a maverick probe on the grate ...your regular gauge in..and stick one in the lid...you will get three different readings...once you get used to the drum you will be fine. The rack of ribs in the center cooks faster than the ones on either side..most of the time i do 2 1 1 instead of 3 2 1

You don't need to wait to invest in a Maverick. Just go pick up one cheap overn thermo and place it on the grate. When your outside gauge reads 225, open up the lid and see what that oven thermo is showing.

Obviously, you need to check the accuracy of your thermometers in boiling and/or ice water.
