An hour and half ago I threw on three 8lbs (after trimming) pork shoulders at a set temp of 225. I had to drop the grill temp to 215 as the left and middle inside temp was showing 300+ on my probes. But the right probed showed 220ish. I have a feeling these shoulders will finish sooner than later. 29D4191A-CE2F-4FA2-976A-5F8D4E95072A.jpegA4A5847A-7B42-4E60-B93A-9067F64B18B8.jpegA8B66F34-CEA5-4647-A012-D2B66B4F334B.jpeg8CC36321-B297-4E6D-B0CC-93C86D61AE49.jpeg
 
You might want to pick up an infrared thermometer to check various spots in your grill for hot spots. I picked up one on sale at Amazon.

Just make sure you aim it a the matte black parts of the grill, not reflective surfaces as you will get incorrect temperature readings.

I have an Ironwood grill and found that my temps are fairly consistent across the grill. I chose that grill partly due to the dual discharge slots at the back of the grill rather than a single smokestack. That should help with temperature uniformity. I believe the Timberline has similar slots.
