I just finished my first build, and during my first smoke I noticed something odd with the thermometer. It is screwed into the 3/4 inch hole, but the meter portion will still rotate independent of the shaft. The needle moves when I rotate it, showing a lower reading when straight up and down at a 90 degree angle, and showing hotter the more you rotate it away from you. It reads about 30 degrees Fahrenheit higher when rotated to 45 degrees.
My question is, a) is this normal b) what position should the thermometer be in?
