Smokeware has a sale on everything on their site this weekend. I upgraded the therms on my bigger eggs. The mini gets the therm from the 2XL now. I like it.

    Those things make XLs look small! Makes the Mini look like a Christmas tree ornament. Your egg, your money, but I never could see the point.

    Hey, you asked... =)

    I hate it when I go to the kitchen for food and all I find are ingredients!

    Has nothing to do with the cost. It could cost 10¢, free shipping, and I wouldn't buy it. Just don't see... why. Like I said, your egg, your money.

    We get it, you are a fan of small thermometers. It just helps to make your mini look bigger. It’s a good strategy, I see your point.

    Rough crowd.

    But those which may be dealing with some degree of astigmatism, may find it useful.

    I shall choose not to discuss the compensation issues which seems to hover on such issues.

    However, to answer the question, originally posted; Yes.

    That's awesome!   I think it would be funny if they added Braille numbering on it

    All good joking fun aside, I do enjoy the practical use of seeing the temp clearly from inside my house now. It is quite useful. But I do see the craziness that others do in having a big therm like this on a tiny grill.

    I added a large thermometer to my small egg for the same reason, especially when it’s raining. I can see it from my patio door now and not get soaked.

    I dig it.  I think it looks cool and I love big thermos.  Much easier to read and more precision in the measurements.

    New smokeware therms arrived today at work, put one in the work mini to give it a test.  I like the black I think.

    The black background and white needle does make it much more readable from a distance.

    what makes the mini look small is that it is small, a true novelty item if there ever was one
