P.I.D. temp vs. temp on the smoker door.

[firefigther12000]

I just hooked up my PID to the smoker, turned it on and started running it. Set it for 200 degrees.The PID reads 200 where as the temp on the door reads about 190..

Forget the door temp. As any fixed probe it is impacted by heat flow. That flow is sometimes blocked by the meat. Put the PID probe just below the lowest rack with the meat (or whatever you are smoking) and you should be ok.

How do I do this? I put the probe through the top like the instructions say.

Feed enough wire through the vent so that it can dangle below the lowest rack of meat.

You can also bring it in thru the side by the door seal. Makes it a while lot easier to move racks if you need to.
