looking for thermometer....

[Becky M-M]

i realize i need a thermometer for my grill.... i have no idea what to get. i am sure they can get expensive... but i would like to get something for $10 - $15 if it's possible. Are they removable so that i can switch it between grills?

i am already getting the RT301WA that was suggested a while back... seems to be recommended pretty well. so i am set on that one.

suggestions appreciated.....

If you want one to clip into the top vent than this is similar to what I use.

I got mine for less than $8.00 at Lowe's and I use it on the WSM and the OTG.
You can adjust the clip up or down depending on what ya have cookin.

Edit to add pic of thermo clipped into lid vent.

oh i thought it had to be a specific kind that was made just for the lid.....

Becky. There's more than a few ways to measure temps at your lid. You could go with a factory looking install with a Tel-Tru or an origional Weber therm, but that takes drilling a hole, and they cost more than your budget and they are not that easy to transfer.
Easiest way IMO is to use a therm with a clip or silicone plug,wine cork or wooden clothes hanger pin to hold any therm in the top vent.

Tel-Tru makes one that (kinda) screws right into an open lid vent hole. Like this.

Works Great and take it inside when you're done playing outside.

Jim, Isn't the Tel-Tru like $40?

Similar to Jim i'm using a Tel-Tru but not through the vent. Just a small hole it slides in and out of.
