One or both of these are true:

  1. The temperature is actually different at those two locations.
  2. One or both thermometers are wrong (broken, miscalibrated, etc.).

It's the first one. I can tell you for sure that there is a huge temperature gradient inside the grill from the distance from the cooking grates to the inside of the lid. The lid thermometer is somewhere between 10-14" away from the grates, in most models.

That's also why the upper rack is a "warming" rack and not a "cooking" rack (despite some manufacturers - coughweber - trying to include it in the cooking area total).

And the lid thermometer is usually on the lid. Where there's cold air on the other side.

Yeah but OP is saying the thermometer on the lid shows a higher temp.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Eh. The probe is inside the air, more or less away from the lid (which is still very quite hot)
