I have a 22.5 Weber Kettle with no thermometer.
If I'm going to get serious about barbecue, and I am, then I'll need to know the temp of my cooking area. Right?
I've tried poking a candy thermometer through the vent holes. It smoked over.
I also tried running a wireless remote (alien probe) through a potato on the grilling surface with an inch sticking out the other side. This worked but I needed it for the Butt I was smoking and was temp blind again.
Does anyone know of a kit or something which would let me drill a hole in the lid and screw a replacement thermometer in so that it's like one made that way?
Or do I have to spend the bucks and order a new dome with a thermometer already factory installed?
(I don't want to smoke meat by hanging it in a smolderin' tree any more.)
Thanks in advance,
Tom
