5698k Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Don’t ever let anyone tell you there’s a difference between grate and dome temps on a stable grill. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pequod Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Interesting because I could have posted exactly the same pic today and was thinking the same thing. Smoked up two butts at 285 using the CyberQ and the dome exactly matched the pit probe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony b Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Yes, with enough time to equilibrate, they get pretty close to each other (within 20F). A little more deviation at higher temps due to more airflow through the top hat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Ora Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 I never think that hard love the science .you cant change the middle..but you only have to check the temp at the end. Lol Outback kamado Bar and Grill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ckreef Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 My general thoughts are pick one (dome or grate) and stick to using that. I only cook by dome temperature and haven't used a grate probe in the last couple of years. I have Thermoworks Smoke probes installed in my domes where the analog thermometer would go. I only did that because I'm lazy and don't want to get up and walk to the KK's to check temperature. Once you learn how your kamado behaves using either grate or dome temperature than it really doesn't matter which one you choose as long as you stick with what you know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
