This topic is not about:
- the best place for thermometer;
- the right height for temp probe (lid temp or grate temp);
- correct temperature readings
- lid thermometer vs digital wired thermometer vs wireless thermometer.
Off course you're free to discuss whatever you'd like, that just would be off the topic subject.
Some of us who don't have lid thermometer in our kettles would like to add one. I also have seen on videos that people drilling out the rivet that holds lid vend deflector and installing thermometer in that center hole where rivet used to sit.
My questions are:
- does your thermometer stays in place when you spin the vent dial?
- how to make it the way that thermometer stays in place?
Thanks!
