14.5" OEM Thermometer WAY off

So after my first cook i struggled with the temp a lot and I read up on here and found the thermometers that come with these are way off. So I bought a nice digital air thermo (DOT) which is awesome.

Then I figured hell, the WSM is new so I contacted Weber and a replacement is on the way. Its the part for the 18.5 but I cant find if its actually the same - from the email Weber sent I think its not - but who cares. I really just wanted one that was roughly close. The original was off by 100 degrees! So it was quite worthless.

Do like the Thermoworks products tho. they are in UT and regular shipping gets them here in a day! They just had an open box sale which was nice!

The Weber CS was exceptional!
 
Hi Dave,
Curious... was it off 100 degrees when you checked it using the ice bath or when you checked it using boiling water ?
 
well, not exactly. far less scientific, I put them close to each other in the smoker. I figured they were so far off what difference does it make. could be wrong there...
