Replacement temp gauge?

CPARKTX · November 2016

I think that my temp gauge may be toast, any suggestions on a good replacement?

Check out Smokeware, they have a huge 3" replacement ..

I bent the stem in mine this morning. It reads 55!

Smokeware has a 25% off sale everything on their website starting tomorrow. There Thermo's run about $29 but after the discount it will cost you about $22 I'll be picking up one tomorrow when the sale starts.

The big smokeware is nice to read but I've seen that some people have said they can catch on one temp then shoot up 20 degrees. I think I have one of those but it's not every time and I haven't hawked it to see how often it happens. I do like the way they look though.

I may go with the TT that goes to 1000 degrees. For my pizzas. And get another one for lower cooks. My guru was flawless today. So it's all good.

@BBQbutler which is the "TT" that goes to 1,000? I do pizzas regularly and that would be handy

TT is tel tru.

I've had a TT 1000° for several years and it's great. Checked the calibration a couple of weeks ago (for the first time). It was 2° off!

Rotate it so the target temp is straight up and it's easy to see, even from a distance.

I had the same issue on one of mine. Turned out the stem was bent a little and the dial bumped the face. I straightened it out and been running without issue since.

I have a nasty habit of storing accessories in my egg and closing the lid without checking for clearance.

Smokewear ones are great, but the black faced one is appealing.

BGE actually markets a nice Tel Tru 3 " model. I picked one up because I had trouble seeing my smaller model. Works great, but can't remember how much it cost. Probably more than the Smokeware model.
