This is bothering me. I'm cooking a brisket right now at 225 and put in a Fireboard pit temp sensor. When the Silverbac is set at and reading 225, the grate temp is at 255 - 260. Is this just the nature of the beast when the grill sensor is off to the side? If I want my pit temp at 225 I have to adjust the Silverbac down to 190. This means the Silverbac will never be capable of temps below 215.
I looked this up on the net and it seems like Traeger and REC TECT owners see variances between 2 and 10 degrees (set temp vs pit temp).
A 35 degree variance is pretty stunning. Could this be because I only have one 7.5 lb brisket on and the temps will even out when the airflow is more restricted?
The grill sensor tests fine and accurately reads for the freezing water / boiling water test.
Any thoughts appreciated.
