Dropped $150 on a offset smoker thermometer and it lied to me all summer

Bought this fancy digital probe setup thinking I’d get perfect brisket every time. Turns out the grate-level probe was reading 40 degrees off from my pit temp. Ruined three whole pork shoulders before I checked it with a cheap old analog gauge. Anyone else had a high-end thermometer just crap out on them like that?

Man that sounds like user error not the thermometers fault honestly.

Yeah sure, user error - like when my thermometer says 98.6 but I'm pretty sure I'm actually on fire.

Oh come on, is it really that big of a deal?
