Kamado Joe BBQ Grill Temperature Gauge - Waterproof, Large Face, Stainless Steel, 150-900F, Easy Setup

I was looking for an upgrade to the old dial thermo on my kamado. I wanted to buy something American made for quality because you know how important temp readings on a smoker are. Initially I was looking at the one made by Western Hearth that comes certified but it has a few shortcomings: 1) the max temp is 750. I wanted one up to 900 for searing and pizza cooking temps. 2) The O.D. of the probe is 1/5". My kamado uses a 1/4" opening and the Western Hearth one doesn't come with a gasket to hold it centered in the opening so I would have had to seal it in using some high temp RTV, and because of the curved shape of the kamado I knew the dial wouldn't sit flush and seal without the gasket.This one checks all the boxes.Pros:1) Slightly longer probe for accurate readings2) Quality construction3) Threaded stem for 1/4 inch openings4) Thread and Nut instead of tension clip mount5) High temp silicon gasket included6) Only $20Cons:1) Did not come calibratedOverall, I am happy with it

I am the original owner of a mid 90's Weber Genesis propane grill. I have lost the little black cast piece that held the round thermometer on the outside, right front of the lid. Now there is just the original hole in the outside of the lid where the thermometer passed through. This thermometer, with the thick silicone washer, sealed perfectly on the grill, works great and is easy to read. I did calibrate it in boiling water before installation.

This one was the third attempt to buy a thermometer that would work correctly and it does. First two were under $10 and had to send them back. This one has a much larger dial and longer probe and appears to be reading accurately. Has an adjustment on the back so can easily be calibrated with boiling water. A little more difficult to install because the threads are smaller than the standard units. Also keep in mind that the probe is longer than most.

Seems to be accurate and it works and it seems to be a good quality it's at least lasted longer than the last one I bought which was only a little bit cheaper but didn't even last a whole grilling season.

Choose this gauge for its smaller diameter stem to fit my BBQ lid. Put the stem into boiling water and its within 1 degree accurate. Has a nice silicone washer to mount onto the BBQ surface and includes a stainless nut and washer. Very effective temperature scale too, up to 900 degrees. Only complaint is the dial and needle could use a brighter color for easier reading.

My gas grille thermometer was not accurate and this new thermometer is more accurate. it was easy to install. The temperature probe was 2" longer than the fatory thermometer.

I bought this for a relatively small and cheap BBQ. But, what is great is you can easily take it off and use it elsewhere in the future. It is large and is easy to read from a distance. It is larger than I expected and has worked out better than I expected.

Works as expected. I keep this outside in the elements with no cover and it seems to be weather proof
