Recently, purchased a sidebox smoker. It has two thermometers at the top of the smokebox. I used my digital thermometer by placing it on the grill. The two smoke box thermometers were both registering different temperatures from one another, and neither were the same as the digital one (which is known to be correct). I would like to also mention that I have placed a heat deflector plate in the smoker, so both sides should be relatively similar heats. I removed the two smoke box thermometers and placed them in boiling water so as to calibrate them at a known temp. Upon doing so, I placed them back on the smokebox. The very next day I was smoking a brisket and was frustrated to find that the thermometers were once again incorrect (both different from one another, and both not the same as the digital one).
Are there any known ways of adjusting them to get them to read correct temps?
