JAY1924, that's exactly what mine was doing and couldn't figure out until later in the cook until I went to flip the ribs over and found the one stuck on the probe. The smoker keeps showing the lower meat temp and doesn't climb much at all and not the actual oven temp which is higher. If you had an separate oven temp monitor going you would know but I didn't. michaelstano indicated he finished his butts in the house oven since they were wrapped so may have solved the problem without knowing it. I would certainly try something else as a short test as suggested to be sure.
