Well the set temp and the temp shown as the actual on the display match pretty well.
I had a suspicion it was running a bit cool though. So I set up my Thermodot with the oven probe + clip inside the Traeger (Silverton 630).
Although the set and shown "actual" on the Traeger display agree, the Thermodot says the actual is around 25F less that the Traeger says it is.
I called Traeger and they said that is normal.
Does it not matter that much ? I am just surprised that is acceptable. I don't know why I suspected it was running low, but the cook must have just seemed off ?
PS I tend to believe the Thermoworks Dot.
In the pic, Dot is below the Traeger display. Traeger display shows what it thinks is "actual" in upper left, the set temp smaller to the right of that. Meat probe temp is below those. That probe was off around 8-10F but I calibrated it a month ago. Traeger tell me that the grill temps cannot be calibrated, unfortunately.
