Dome Thermometer

A gripe - the dome thermometer on my 18 WSM lasted 10 years before it failed, ok I have no problem with that so ordered a new one from Weber, great but it failed within a year so switched to using my Thermoworks probe thermometer stuck thru the rubber gasket I installed for monitoring meat temperature. This works fine but it just irritates me every time I use my smoker. Is this a common problem or should I just get over it and order another new Weber hood thermometer?
 
I like the Tel-Tru BQ225 thermometers (2" dial, 2.5" stem) , like these: https://www.amazon.com/Tel-Tru-BQ225-Barbecue-Thermometer-Aluminum/dp/B008BLD5KC?tag=tvwb-20 or https://www.amazon.com/Tel-Tru-BQ225-Barbecue-Thermometer-inch/dp/B008BLD6EM?tag=tvwb-20 The BQ225 thermometers fit in the existing thermometer hole in the dome, on top of the existing bezel. Just add a 1/4"-20 hex nut as on the back threads before inserting the thermometer to prevent pulling the stem out of the dial when tightening. If you search for Tel-Tru BQ225 thermometer on Amazon, you will find several different dial styles. Chris A. lists a number of alternative thermometers under "Installing a Thermometer here: https://www.virtualweberbullet.com/installing-thermometer/
