Hey guys, I am new to the pellet grills. I got everything put together. I upgraded the grate to Stainless Steel by Big Poppa Smokers that some suggested on here. I seasoned the inside and grate lightly with vegetable oil. I put my Weber Grill ambient probe inside on the middle of the grate. I set the bullseye to 400, it got really hot after 20 minutes I had to turn it off.
I let everything cool off, I did a 2nd run. This time I set it to 300 degrees, The bullseye said it was at 305 but my ambient probe kept climbing over 400 degrees then started to back down after 20 minutes but still was a big diffidence in temperature.
I increased the temperature on the bullseye to 325, it took about 15 minutes to get there. My probe got up to 465 then slowly started to come back down to around 430.
Its basically showing a 100-130 degree difference in the bullseye temp and my weber probe.
The pellets I am using are Lumberjack competition blended made out of 100% virgin tree fiber. Not even sure what that is, I honestly didn't read that you need to use 100% hardwood. Could this be the issue or could my probe be bad?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I want to get this thing right before I cook on it.
