So I've read a number of threads indicating the WSM's thermometer is nothing more than a hood ornament. I just received my replacement thermometer from weber and did the boiling water test against a known accurate thermometer and found that the replacement gauge from weber is actually spot on. Do the thermometers over time just fail or become more and more inaccurate? I was so worried about cooker temperatures that I invested in a grate thermocouple to go with my weber igrill 2 just to be sure. I am aware that grate temperatures can vary from dome temperatures but I've seen people flat out say that that the thermometer is WAY off on these things which isn't what my testing has shown.
What are the experiences of others with the WSM's thermometer?
