Lid thermometer reading does not match digital controller temperature

Safety first: Use caution when touching thermometers; they can be hot.

• Understand that the lid thermometer measures air near the lid, while the RTD probe measures at its own location; some difference is normal.
• Test the lid thermometer in boiling water to check calibration; replace if significantly inaccurate.
• Rely primarily on the digital controller and meat probes for precise cooking temperatures.

Warning: Do not attempt to bend or force the lid thermometer; replace if damaged.
