Dome Gauge vs the iKamand
The iKamand temperature reading at the grill plate may be different from the
dome temperature. This is normal because the grill plate is closer to the fire and
above the deflector plates.
If you want your iKamand and dome temperature to be the same, hang the
iKamand pit probe through the top vent around the same location as the dome
thermometer.
Additionally, your dome thermometer may need calibrating.
