Anyone add one? I am curious as to why weber didn't include one, when all their other grills have them. I know you can plug in probes and what not, but sometimes its nice when its right there in front of you.
Sort of...I have found that the temperature on the controller only changes if the grill gets 30deg off the set temp. I.E. if it over shoots by 30, it will change, or if you open the lid and it drops by over 30 it will change. Never goes above 600 though.Doesnt the controller tell you what the current temp of the grill is?
Yes you will!! I stopped doing it, it added to my stress level.It is not averaged and you will learn a lot about the unit.
Totally agree with this post - no analog thermometer is one less thing for Weber to worry about. I would probably use a secondary thermometer as a cross check if I felt the need to confirm the pellet grill's temperature reading/output.I hope this doesn't sound as though I think I know the minds of Weber and other manufactures but perhaps the reasons already discussed here are why these folks don't include an analog thermometer. Could you imagine the calls and returns we would make if we were comparing the two temp readings all day, lol?
I don't know what the sample and/or transmission rates are but the combination of those are probably why the temp readings on our units don't change on the fly such as when the lid is raised and maybe they do that by design to reduce bandwidth and to keep us from freaking out.
