Oh sorry Jon I didn't see this message until now. I'll try to get the temp gauge shipped soon. Hopefully tomorrow.
Sharing your knowledge and experience with me is worth more to me than parts so Thank you.

Thanks SO MUCH, Josh! No hurry at all.

I'm just happy I could help

@Eric-NH a standard lid canning jar fits the grease catch perfectly. My vintage jars have glass inserts in the lids that just need to be removed and then you stick the jar through the holder and then screw the lid on without the lid insert. Any newer glass canning jar with a standard opening lid would work. Just have to remove the metal insert on the newer jar lids.

That is cool Josh.

That is cool Josh.

It's just a small detail underneath on the back thats probably very rarely seen but I think they will be cool also to have one of those on each side tucked underneath on the swivel holder.

I don't know if I have any vintage blue half pints laying around but that might be kind of cool and hide the grease drippings a bit.

 

[Bruce]

I think the blue is a great choice if you can find one. I think they are making the blue ones again as well. But, I think it is just cool that it makes it so easy to see just how full the container is at any given time.

 

[Eric-NH]

That's really cool, I like that idea!

My old Jenn Aire cooktop used mason jars to catch grease as well. You just reached up under the counter to unscrew them and clean them out.

That's smart designing

I totally agree, clever and simplistic

It was a top of the line unit back in the day. It must have been at least forty years old when I finally had to replace it because you couldn't get parts for it anymore.

It's amazing to me the cool small details on vintage things that have been lost/forgotten or just deleted many years ago. Simple details that work well. It's just interesting to me and I find myself preferring the old tech over the new stuff.
