I'm in the process of my build and am looking for thermometer suggestions. I already have a Maverick 732 so this won't be my only source for checking the heat. Post pics of your thermometers, links to site offering them, and ones that you wish you had installed.
I used this one on my mini WSM project. Mainly for the price and it was available at my local store. The stem is pretty short and does not interfere with taking the grills in and out of the smoker.
both. I'd have to measure the stem but it is pretty short, maybe 2" so the bottom rack will go past by tipping to about a 30° angle. Also, the 2" face does not look overly large on the mini, yet is easy to read and is fairly accurate.
Take a look at this one I have three of them, very accurate and if they get out of calibration you can recalibrate them your self. Best thing is there only about $15.00. They also have a three inch one.
