The Thermocouple is in the middle of the back wall centered in the smoker (the black dot centered between the racks. It’s a waterproof DS18B20. You can see, the smoker is well used.
That looks sweet!
You previously said only a quarter of the sensor was in the smoker, but from the rear it looks like it is entirely inserted?
I imagine the wire would melt if it was fully inserted?
Any ideas on how I can get the DS18B20 sensor closer to the middle of the smoker?

A type K thermocouple would solve the issue as it (and the wire) can withstand high temperatures. Would love to learn how to install one to a Sonoff TH.
Alternatively I’m thinking of running a copper pipe across the middle of my smoker, the DS18B20 would insert straight into the copper pipe.
The copper would allow the sensor to pick up a more accurate reading.
