Anyone know where I can get a new dome thermometer with a new bracket?
Anywhere but direct from BGE.
They are hopeless.

You don't need the bracket - it won't fall out when you open the lid.

Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers. -

My LBGE thermometer says tel tru on it...is there a better one to have?

I was just too lazy to put it back on after the last time I calibrated it. One advantage of not having the bracket is, if you have a turkey or some high-in-the-dome piece of meat, the probe side of the thermometer will be pushed out when you close the lid versus stabbing the meat (and if you didn't realize that were the case, you're temp readings wouldn't be as accurate. Also, it's easier to rotate so your set-point is at 12 O'Clock.

That's interesting for me because I thought I needed a bracket for that exact reason - so the thermometer can be held well off the dome to avoid sticking when I use the top level of the Extender. That's what Tom recommends:

For that, you can drill a hole in wine cork and use for a spacer. A potato would work too...
-
Another advantage to leaving the bracket (clip) off... You can simply pull out the thermometer when doing a cleaning burn. They don't like going over 1000° (Ask me how I know.)

Thanks for that.
I think I have to use more lump
There is no way I can get up to those temps when I have finished a cook with what is left.
