Hey!

I just got my wsm last week. It was time for a thermometer. I went with a TelTru. This thing is one serious thermometer. I went with the 4'' stem (i think its a 4'') to try and get as close to the grate as poss. I measured, put the blue tape on her, centerpunched, and drilled my 7/8'' hole with a unibit. Then installed the locknut kit that i purchased with the teltru. Very easy installation. Don't be scared. Soo tell me what u think.

Perfect placement IMO. It will get in the way from time to time but you can always find a hole somewhere for the stem to have ample room away from the cold meat. Just remember that if you really pack the meat on the top grate, always try and save a spot with good clearance on both sides of the stem. What will happen is you can get a false pit temp reading if you have cold meat against or very close to the stem. I use a 6" stem Ashcroft thermo so I'm used to this little glitch but work around it because I'm getting a very close to actual top grate reading with the longer stem. Good choice on the Tel-Tru 4" HTH
 
Nice job, Jay. If I were ever to buy one, the black dial is the way I'd go too. Very sleek.
 
Thanks guys

Toby- what do you mean by spinning the handle around?

So when you are standing there looking at the thermo the "Weber" on the handle is right, not upside down.
