I think what @TD might be talking about is the placement of the vent to the handle?
Late model premium grills ( 2 bowl handle + ash pan ) had the vent 90 den from the handle and MT grills had it moved to 180 deg with the thermometer on the other side.
I'm not sure about the years this was done here in Europe but I think it started around 2010-11 ?
You "could" say that with the vent and t-meter 90deg from each other and the indirect fire on the opposite side.. you might have a better temp reading away from the heart of the fire ?
This assumes that the $10 thermometer is laboratory quality and correctly calibrated .
Now I'm confused .. I need another drink.
