I love my Weber kettle grill. I can cook almost anything on it. The one problem with the grill is there is no thermometer on it to know what temperature I am cooking at. I decided to check at our local retail store for one and could not find one. I then decided to check Amazon and found the Weber replacement "Dual Thermometer". It works just great. What you do is put the thermometer in the smoke hole/vents to see what the temp is while you are cooking. I know this works well because "America's Test Kitchen" was reviewing grilling gadgets and recommended this to use for the Weber grill. Now I can see how hot things are that I am roasting, or cooking.

This little baby fits right into the 'hole' of the bonnet of my Weber Genesis Gold series gas grill. My original one stopped functioning, but the replacements are certainly cheap enough. I picked up two this time, as they function well as a meat thermometer to tell if your cooking is complete. They are essential to have around, and if you have a Weber grill, then eventually you might need a replacement.

I can't speak for other models of Weber grills, but this thermometer is an exact replacement for the unit that came with my Performer charcoal grill. It slides into a hole in the handle mount on top of the kettle lid. The Performer is the charcoal grill with the gas assisted charcoal ignition feature and the attached side table and cart. I do a lot of slow cooking, so it's pretty important to know what the kettle temperature is over long periods of time. I got almost four years service from the original thermometer so the design is plenty rugged. It probably would have lasted longer, but I forget to remove it when I used an angle grinder with a wire wheel to clean the inside of the lid for repainting. It's marked up to around 650F, which is plenty hot enough for most charcoal cooking. A lot of the cheaper store bought replacement units only go to 450F and are easy to destroy with over heating. I bought two units at once to have a spare on hand and would buy another of these anytime.

Accurate & cheap. This is an exact replacement for my Weber thermometer that broke after many years. It is a top-rated thermometer by America's Test Kitchen.

I use this with my Weber kettle grill - I keep it stuck through a vent hole when the lid is closed to gauge the temperature inside. It was helpful this Thanksgiving in making sure the grill was hot enough to properly cook a turkey (it was, maybe too much so - with lump charcoal I got temps up to 450 or 500). Only problem: the probe part of the thermostat tended to bump against the large turkey inside, but with careful adjustment, it worked fine. The absence of plastic meant the thermostat held up well to the heat. The dual ability seems like a good touch, but I didn't test it as a meat thermometer - I already had a digital instant-read.

After over 20 years of use of my Weber Grill I had to replace the Thermometer. Replacement made and Thermometer is indicating correct temperature.

Used the thermometer to monitor temperature during smoking process with a weber grill, worked great.

The first thermometer that I received was faulty (grossly innaccurate). I contacted the vendor and they shipped a replacement immediately.

Nice to find this replacement product. Bought 2 of them just to have an extra one on hand. Thanks....so far so good.

Product was received quickly and was an original Weber replacement thermometer. My first thermometer lasted about 15 years before needing replacement. The new Weber thermometer does not fit snugly in the Weber top in the manufactured holder and rotates freely thus making reading more difficult. When I tried calibrating the thermometer to boiling water, the temperature was about 5 degrees under.
