Tel-Tru BQ225 Barbecue Thermometer, 2 inch Aluminum dial, 2.5 inch stem, 100/500°F

Very accurate and quick response. I have a Weber Mastertouch with a thermometer, but the thermometer is opposite the vent. I wanted a thermometer next to the vent and researched for a few days to find the right thermometer to install next to the vent. While not the cheapest, this is exceedingly good. A 1/4 inch hole easily drilled into the Weber lid using a quality drill bit, and it's done. I found the difference between the Weber thermometer over the coals and the Tel-Tru next to the vent to consistently be 20-25 degrees difference. As I was smoking ribs, the temperature at the vent was 225 while the Weber gave a reading of 245-255. That's been consistent whether using direct or indirect cooking. The Weber thermometer was also slower to respond to opening and closing vents, but that's not a big issue. As I grill/smoke a few times a week, this Tel-Tru thermometer was well worth the price for accuracy.

Excellent high precision temperature reader. I use it on my Weber Rocky Mountain smoker. Very easy to install.

Great thermometer! I ordered this to replace the stock one on my portable grill. It was an easy installation and works great! I compared the results with a probe I own and it was very close, if not better. Buying another one for my 22 inch kettle grill as well!

Not as accurate as I would like due to the short stem. It's my fault, but there should be more assistance with picking the correct length of the probe.

great I am very pleased with it

Tel-Tru thermometers are a favorite among all the famous BBQ pros on YouTube for good reason - they're incredibly accurate. I recently bought these for my Traeger and Weber kettle. I was concerned about my Traeger's temperature precision, so I mounted one slightly above grill level on the door. To my delight, the Tel-Tru matched the readings of my ThermoWorks probe, which is certified to ± .5⁰ F. Surprisingly, my Traeger's built-in thermometer was also very accurate, within just 2 degrees. Installing the Tel-Tru is a breeze; all you need is a drill with a 1/4" bit, and it's on in seconds. If you're particular about maintaining precise grill or smoker temperatures for your barbecue, I highly recommend Tel-Tru thermometers.

I upgraded my weber kettle with this thermometer. Grilling has become more consistent and I feel I use less coal too. I chose this version because the 300 degree mark is at noon. I have the therm opposite the coals and don't require a therm to go to 700. Also needle movement on a model that goes to 700 is minor as compared to this one. As a matter of fact I monitored my slow cook of over 6 hours from my office on the first floor. I.e. I could see the needle from where I was and didn't have to go close to the grill to keep an eye on it. The ribs were awesome if I may add! This product is a little Expensive. My weber did not come with a therm installed and since I was going to modify it I wasnt going to do it with some Mickey mouse brand. Buy this therm and you won't regret it. I didnt test for accuracy however I found it to be stable and consistent.

This fits as a replacement for an 18 inch Weber Smoker thermometer. It sits on top of the chrome ring and looks great.

Has worked good for first week
