Midwest Hearth Professional BBQ Grill Thermometer (2" Dial)

Worked out great in my old Weber kettle grill, all I had to do is drill a 1/4” hole in the lid near the top and install it using the included wing nut. Now I can tell the temperature at which I’m cooking, worked out very good cooking ribs.

It's just what I ordered, and it fit. I have not used it yet.

The temperature gages are installed on the door of my Pit Boss smoker. They are well made, look good, and are very accurate.

I looked at a few different thermometers before I settled on this one. I really liked the black background and color on the display. And the thermometer works fine, but I was surprised to find that moisture had gotten inside and now I have constant condensation on the inside of the glass! It still works, but that's very annoying. Maybe I got a bum unit, but it didn't bother me enough to make a return. I can live with it, but I don't like it. I was hoping that after using the grill a few times the high heat would drive the moisture out. It hasn't. I'm in Michigan and we have lots of humidity here. I think I'm stuck with the condensation. Overall a nice unit but I only give it 4 starts because of the moisture ingress.

This is my second one of these thermometers I have purchased for my grills. I fit these on my weber grills at grate height and keep the thermometer on the opposite side of my coals (when cooking with indirect heat) in order to know the true temperature where the food it, not the top of the grill. Why weber puts their thermometers there is beyond me. These thermometers are accurate, give a decently fast reading and are easy to read from a good distance. Love mine, and will buy more when I buy another grill. :)

loved that easy install part, just a quarter in hole i believe it was, slipped right in and tightend right up, i put it on the fire box part of a oklahoma joes smoker , i use the fire box the just grill a couple steaks when its just us, need a temp probe cause i like knowing how hot things a getting, it did feel kinda ouchy on the price, but it is american made and you can see and feel the quality in it, a great gauge

I bought this due to reviews and the perceived quality of the brand. I wanted something very accurate for the lid of my pellet smoker. Unfortunately this is not accurate at all. The RTD probe built in to my pellet smoker will register 275F and a small oven temp gauge hanging on the rack inside will show around 275F… while this gauge mounted through the lid of my smoker will show around 230-240F. It’s literally in the center between the other two and continually shows 30-40F less than the other gauges.

I love the stripped down nature of the PBC; however knowing the internal temperature is useful since the PBC performs best when in the 275 - 300 degree range. So I suggest spending the money for a properly indexed smoker/BBQ temp gauge that is accurate and with a short stem so that it does not interfere with anything inside the PBC. I've tried four different gauges and this is my preference, certainly stay away from the cheap ones with a temp range of 0 - 800 degrees - they are just not calibrated for smoking. Soldering perhaps, but not smoking.... Note: I believe that mounting this 2 inch gauge in the center of the PBC nameplate (between the two rebars sticking out) is the ideal location, as opposed to mounting it on the lid. Unfortunately I was unable to post a photo....

Works as it should

Looks nice but the temperature is way off. Definitely cant rely on it. Waste of money!
