Had that moment with my smoker temperature gauge yesterday

I've been BBQing for like 8 years now and always trusted the built-in thermometer on my offset smoker. Turns out it was off by 50 degrees the whole time! I only figured it out when my brisket came out tough for the third time in a row and I grabbed a cheap probe thermometer from Ace Hardware. Anyone else find a huge difference between their smoker gauge and an instant read?

My buddy used his grill thermometer for years before realizing it was 40 degrees off lol.

@barbarahill nah that's brutal but also kinda relatable. I bet half the grills out there are reading the wrong temp lol.
