The difference is sizable, is there anyway you can measure the temperature just under the dome? Is the fan setting the same in both cases? If so it does look like the heat being radiated by the dome is the difference between the gas temperatures. As I said before the bare thermocouple will be under reading compared with one in a tube as Alex suggested.
