Nice Therometer (2010-03-29)
I installed this Thermometer on my Weber One-Touch Gold Grill. It works well and is very visible. It really helps me to keep the grill on the correct temp.
Don't grill without it! (2010-02-23)
I've got 2 Weber charcoal grills - a large one, and a smaller "Smokey Joe" grill. Neither of them have a thermometer, so I decided to buy one of these thermometers for the larger grill. It's very accurate, and it definitely pulls the temperature from the probe, not from the metal surface of the grill lid. I tested this by gripping the probe tightly in my hand, which caused the needle to move to just below 100 degrees. However, when I gripped the meter housing in the same way, it did not move at all. I am highly confident that the temperature displayed on the thermometer is the temperature of the air inside the grill.
Installation is a breeze: Drill a 3/8" hole in whatever surface you want to mount this to, put the probe through the hole, and tighten the nut and washer down with a wrench or pliers.
The face appears to be some sort of plastic, probably to help keep it from fogging up. When I used my grill in the rain, it did get a little condensation inside, but not enough to obstruct the view.
I will definitely be buying a second one of these for my smaller grill.
Update, 5/4/2010:
I ended up buying a second one of these thermometers for my other grill. It works exactly like the first one, which I am very happy about. I mentioned before that I thought the face seemed like some sort of plastic, but now i am pretty sure it is glass, although I'll never know for sure unless I break one apart. Any ways, the reason for the update in the review is that the second one I bought is slightly different than the first one, in a good way! Mechanically and structurally, they are identical, however the printing on the gauge face was different on the new one. The first gauge was the same as the photo shown here on the product page, marked as "Smoke" from 100-225, "Barbecue" from 225-375, and everything after 375 is just empty white space. After using it several times, I kept thinking "I wish it said "Grill" for the temperatures above 375. Well, on the second thermometer I received, it actually DOES say grill in the 375-550 section. It's not that big of a deal, but I just thought I would post an update of my review to reflect the differences in the 2 thermometers that I bought from the same product page.
It works and looks good on Baby Q (2009-01-07)
I have 2 Weber Q's, the 220 and Baby Q. The 220 comes with a thermometer which has been handy to be sure you have the heat you need, but the Baby Q did not have a gauge. This is a nice gauge and a very good value. I simply drilled one hole in the aluminum lid and attached it to the front. Depending on where you mount the gauge keep in mind the inside probe extends about 3 inches, so note whether there will be any interference with the grate or whatever you may be grilling. Happy with my purchase.
