Probe calibration

downtownsmokerMember

On my brand new SMO 45, my probe is 15-20 degrees lower than temp from same area with instant read pocket thermometer. Put probe in water just off boil, and measured 192 degrees. Is there an adjustment screw somewhere? May I have connected it wrong?

Thanks

(PS, brisket still came out fine!)

Your best bet would be calling Cookshack and speaking to Bill or Tony in customer service.

Good luck.

End of the story -- Monday, I got my new probe and the problem is solved. Right now, I have two packer briskets in the SMO45, on an overnight cook for a party tonight. CS probe is in one, trusty old Maverick probe thermometer in the other, both in the same spot on the brisket. About 4 degrees apart now at 9 hours into the cook, which is about what I would expect just on differences in the briskets.

THANKS, COOKSHACK. All the rumors about your customer service being the best appear to be TRUE.
