No problem, I should apologize. I just realized I was posting on your restoration thread and not my ownSorry for the slow response just driving
It's all good Eric I really don't care about that kind of stuff. Post whatever you want on my threadNo problem, I should apologize. I just realized I was posting on your restoration thread and not my own
I'll move the posts to my own thread and not clog up yours!
Looks good to me! Turns out that apparently mine had black thermometers!They seem to function well enough. I can't test for accuracy as well as I hoped because my probes max out at 572⁰ and both sides were higher than that. I think with replacement heat shields in both sides and some lava rock inside it should even out a bit better. And obviously I need to adjust the main grill side as the flames were far too yellowView attachment 120718View attachment 120719View attachment 120720View attachment 120721View attachment 120722
Jon from my search these are the best match for black. If you're set on black they're a little bit more money. Oh and there's two available. These are an older version on eBay that still say heat indicator on it which I really like. The newer version does not say heat indicator. I also found another Black version but it's primary reading is Celsius and secondary is Fahrenheit underneath. Something to keep in mind.
Interesting!
That one metal wheel is the original but most likely you won't be able to find three more of those. At least probably not an exact matchAnd another interesting find, apparently harbor freight has a wheel that would match and replace the one mismatched wheel on mine. I didn't expect that but chat gpt found it quicklyView attachment 120724View attachment 120725

Oh wow, I thought it was the other way around!That one metal wheel is the original but most likely you won't be able to find three more of those. At least probably not an exact match
Well, the black one I already. have is plain jane. The two left on eBay look really nice and close enough for me. However, price is high and over 14 bucks to ship two small thermometers is highway robbery. I got as close as putting them in my cart and finally said, “No!” The white ones we each got look VERY good and will suffice.Thanks, Josh! You are good detective.
I need to look at the one black one I have already. If it matches the eBay one, I might grab one more. Not likely to buy two at that price, and actually the white ones would be good as well.
I think the silver/white ones will look fantastic Jon. Id be happy to have either but I'm happy we have some great options.Well, the black one I already. have is plain jane.

Chrome bezel could easily be swapped. Good idea I didn't think about that. If the black temp gauge went to 700 I'd do that.I like the chrome on black better than black on black.
I meant I like the chrome/white thermometer better. Now that you mention it maybe the black bezel on the white thermometer would be OK also.Chrome bezel could easily be swapped. Good idea I didn't think about that. If the black temp gauge went to 700 I'd do that.
