Makes sense. Thanks again to you, Larry and other folks for their help.

So my overall sense is that the grill is running a little hot. Now that I know what’s what it’s okay. Maybe caused by regulator, maybe by something else.

And around 450 it’s Accurate after which point it’s wrong in the opposite direction.

Results are in W=Weber, T=thermometer I left them in order of observation. Front high at back W340 T310 Back high at front W350 T300 Back low at front W260 T230 Front low on back W240 T210

Will do. Sadly must do a couple non-bbq things as well today. :p

Tried again on low. 16C instead of 15c, so almost the same. Temp=450, Weber=445. Back burner off, thermometer centre: temp 420, Weber=390

Hello fellow Ontarian, your reply is empty :(

Centre of grill, thermometer resting on grate, so temp is slightly above grate level. Low = 400 Weber=425 Medium = 525 Weber=500 High = 575ish Weber=550 Does this range seem reasonable? I can get lower by using 1-2 burners. For reference it’s 15C outside vs close to 30C when I got the hot...

Sorry! I just got the thermometer. The “tester” would have been more accurate. Will test today.

The test!

I sold the other regulator I had with the grill, so can't test regulator that way. It has been out of use for a long time in my shed, no idea what grill it came out of. The serial number ties into an LP grill. The valves/jets on the manifold are L264. The NG manifold (on grill I am delivering...

Thanks Bruce. I don't know if I need something so hi-tech. It'll also be (as always) more expensive in Canada. In past threads it seems that you don't advocate for painting the manifolds, and the how-to doesn't talk about it. Am I best to just leave it be? And do you agree the orifices look as...

Any advice on what to check? Orifice photo attached. Looks the same size as an extra propane manifold I have. Re:rust on manifold - how to safely paint this without getting on to brass? I will aggressively sand. I also realize that if I’m going to keep baking bread, (which was amazing) I do...

I have never looked before I freaked out about the handle.

Truth be told I’m not that motivates by an accurate temp. Directional is okay for me. I’ve done 4 cooks on the bbq. Steak, burger x2, chicken breast. And now 5 with the bread. All have turned out well. and the handle got hot at very high temps for long cook (bake). Maybe all is okay. It’s the...

Useless like it will be 5% off, or useless you can’t trust the reading even a little? I will order a new thermometer.

Slightly above test. Held thermometer in water closer to top so as not to pick up the burner heat. Interestingly my ‘spare’ thermometer is broken. I never thought to test in boiling water. So simple it’s genius.

Are the temp and or the regulator a red flag? Assuming the thermometer works, that seems hot to me. I can flip in an old thermometer.

Regulator and hose is from silver b. The one that came with the grill leaked.

These are good points. I baked my first bread on the bbq. It was around 525 for half an hour. The front and sides of wood were manageable, but side closest to bbq was very hot. As for the grill, assuming the thermometer is accurate - it gets above 550 very quickly. I don’t know what if...
