is ignore the factory thermometer.

I install a new one, at the level where the meat sits, immediately.

I also have a digital probe that I put in the meat. but I only do that when I am about 80% through my expected cook time.

Accurate ambient / meat temp measurement, IMO, is the #1 thing you can do to improve your smoking. I don't care how good your sauce or rub is, if cooked improperly, the Q will be subpar.
