Temperature on 590 display vs that measured at the cooking grate.
I may be getting picky but how many out there have measured the temp of the 590 at grate level and compared it to what the RT-590's display shows via their internal temp probe, say at 225F?
I made insulating blocks for my ThermPro thermometer probes to keep them from picking up the grate temp then place one probe about 3" from the left and right end of the cooking area and centered front to back.
I was seeing about 20F higher readings from the ThermPro than from the 590 with about 15F average differential from left to right.
I am not disturbed by temperature swings over time as it is the nature of the beast, but was pretty impressed by how consistent the temperature was once the grill stabilized.
Busted ! I am one of those science nerds that measure everything.
Any thoughts out there?
