Just fired up my UDS and want to cook a Boston Butt for supper. However, I noticed the temperture on my drum gauge, which is below the lower grate, is about 45 degrees less than the Mavrick gauge sitting on the grate. I put the probe in a block of wood so I am not measuring the grate temp and the probe is sitting just above the grate. I know that heat raises and its hotter near the top as oppose to the drum gauge, but is 45 degrees differents correct? If I keep the drum gauge at 225, am I cooking the butt at 225 or 270? Thanks to all that help and explain this to me. I love my UDS.
