Witch temp?

[meatwad26]

With temp should I be more concerned about. The dome or the cooking grate. I have a weber kettle and a maverick dual probe therm. And of corse the smokinator.

This response might not help much but as long as the temperature is repeatable and consistent then it doesn't matter where you read it. I personally prefer the cooking grate and when you read about cooking temp on other sites they are typically talking about grate temp.

The reason I choose grate over dome is because I also have the maverick and it was easier for me to run the probe under the lip of the lid then down the exhaust. I have since installed a port to run my probe wires through.

However, like I said as long as the temp is consistent and repeatable and you prefer the dome then go for it. As a rule of thumb I think my dome temp ran between 30 and 50 degrees hotter then the grate so adjust for that as well. It would be best to run a test and measure at both locations so you will know what your kettle does.

Hope that helps.

Thanks. It's much easier to clip the robe to the grate. Maybe i will consider the port later. What's your rib preference bb back or St. Louis . Thanks again.
