Overheard a guy at the hardware store talking about his smoker temp

He said he just goes by the built-in gauge on his offset and never checks with a separate probe. I've seen those factory dials be off by 50 degrees, easy. How many people are out there cooking blind like that?

My old offset's factory gauge was only off by maybe 15 degrees. Is a 50 degree swing really that common?

Ever wonder if they just slap those things on at the end of the assembly line? My last one was off by almost 40 degrees on the low end, made everything cook way too fast. I just gave up and got a good digital probe for the grate level. What did you end up doing to check your temps?

Those factory dials are a total guess.
