Temp ranges during cooks

[Hickst1414]

Hello everyone, hope this question is simple and makes sense, when I smoked my first brisket I was getting prope A (meat facing towards the lid ready a lower temp then prob B ( meat facing the hopper). Which areas of of the smoker cook hotter and cooler for future references?

Basically I was getting different temps at several different area on the grill so just curious.

Yep, to be expected. If you want to know, you'll need to map yours out (I used my Fireboard) to map hot and cooler spots. Every grill has them.

Any large cooks, like briskets, turkeys, etc I always place in the middle of the grill.
