Hello all,
I`m a recent owner of DB pellet smoker and am absolutely loving it so far. I have mostly done tri tips, chicken and steaks but tomorrow I`m trying some baby backs.
I have what may be a very stupid question for some of you. The last time I did my tri tip I used the meat probe that came with the GM. I set grill at 300, let it stabilize, put the meat on grill, inserted probe and walked away. When the probe read 100, I turned the tri tip to continue to cook until 130. When I turned the tip, the meat certainly didn`t "feel" like it was anywhere near 100 but I went along with until it read 130. Again, the tri tip looked raw so I got another meat thermometer from the kitchen to see what it read and it said "114"......by the look and feel of the meat I trusted my kitchen thermometer and continued until IT read 130 and all was good. Why would the GM probe read so much higher? I`ve inserted it in multiple places on other tri tips and I get the same thing. Am I using the probe incorrectly? Thanks all...
