Hello All:
I was cleaning the lid of my 22.5 WSM this morning and noticed, for the first time, that the thermometer did not appear to be properly seated in the bezel, seeming to sit "cock-eyed", so to speak.
Upon removing the entire assembly from the lid and separating the thermometer from the bezel, the back of the thermometer itself had only one tab (at 12 o'clock), although the bezel has two slot openings. However, to further complicate matters, the inside of the lid contains the stem hole but only one slot into which the tab of the thermometer fits (while seated in the bezel.)
A review of the parts list contains insufficient detail of the thermometer, so I can't tell whether there should be one or two tabs; it does seem to me that there should be two, but then there's that "one slot only in the lid" issue. When I replace everything and tighten the wing nut, the thermometer will not seat properly.
It may not affect the accuracy of the thermometer, and I suppose I could wait until Monday and call Weber to find out, but if anyone knows the answer, I'd appreciate their input.
Thanks
