I'm in the process of testing out a new PB, Thermocouple and Flash Fire, however there's something that I've noticed with this set up and also before, with all the old "guts". Oh, also, the MAK 2 has been seasoned over years, so there are no new-grill factors involved here.
So, what I've noticed is that here, in NorCal, where afternoon temps are 95*+, Grill Temp seems to run hotter than Set Temp, sometimes by 10 to 15*+, when the smoker is in the sun. I would assume that no matter what factors the weather is playing on the grill, the TC only sees the interior temp and reports that back to the PB. That being the case, I wouldn't think there would be any effect on Grill/Set Temps, however I can't ignore the fact that in the sun, the Grill Temp runs higher than it does in the shade.
MAK Daddy...is there an explanation for this?
