Does the digital thermometer on my Ooni Karu 16 tell me the ambient temperature or the stone temperature?

Why is the ambient temperature different from the stone temperature?
Your pizza stone will heat up a little bit slower than the ambient temperature will. For cooking great pizza, you need the balance of both. That's why it's important to use the infrared thermometer as well as the digital thermometer to ensure your stone and air temperatures are similar.
