Hi All,

I did some searching but couldn't find a definitive recommendation, so . . .

Can anyone recommend a brand, model and source for a good dial thermometer to install in the smoke chamber of my Char-Griller Smoking Pro?

The thermometer has to be adjustable. Ideally, it would also have a 3" dial that is easy to read from a distance and have stainless steel construction with about a 2" stem.

I will also be using remote digital thermometer probes in the meat and smoke chamber, but wanted a mechanical thermometer permanently mounted to the smoke chamber, too.

Thanks!

I like the Tel-Tru, but there are several good ones out there.

Can I lay this one inside my smoker on one of the racks. I have tried the ones that you mount outside and dont like them. I want to put on in the smoker and when I open it up (very little so I don't lose temp) for putting more water or wood in or to mop I can take a quick look at what the temp is like inside the smoker.

If you want to that, just get a cheap oven thermo for around $4.
