I'm searching for a probe-type thermometer to report the temperature of the inside of my Weber 22.5" Silver. I have one I use for meat (roasts, whole chickens, etc.), and it works great. It's a probe that is placed in the meat and then connects to a small digital unit outside the grill. It's very accurate, it sounds an alarm when the meat reaches the desired temperature (which I enter in manually), and the batteries have yet to die.
Right now, I use a simple oven thermometer that I place on the cooking grate as close to the food as possible, so I can get the most accurate reading as to the tempurature that surrounds the food. Even though the gauge is angled at a 45-degree angle, I am not too thrilled with this setup because I must lift the lid, even if only an inch or two, to read the thermometer. And if there's smoke billowing out from the lid, it can be very hard to read!
I would love to have something similar to my probe-type meat thermometer to read the inside temperature of my grill, and I've found the "Maverick" on Amazon, but it got only so-so reviews.
Do any of you have any suggestions or ideas?
