I guess no one here has put a 5 inch thermometer on their 18 inch WSM? I ordered by mistake. If I return it I will have to pay $11 postage and their original postage and 20% restocking fee---so if I return my $37.50 thermometer, I get $8 back! No Way Jose. signed Dummy!

Why return it? It would work just fine because they measure the temp away from the metal side of the smoker which give you a truer reading. All of my Tel-Tru thermo's have at lease a 4'' stem. just for that reason.

It is heavy and has a 5 inch probe.....I guess it just looks funny if I mount it--------Heck---might as well. Hope the temperature probe doesn't get in the way of the meat...Thanks so much
 
I put 2 river country thermos on the Copper Pot build but they are both going to get switched over to Tel Tru this coming spring/summer and I use my inkbird in the Copper Pot currently.......take that as you will. I will be getting 5 or 6 inch stems when I order the new ones.

FYI, the Tel Tru on the X Fire Grill has a 9 inch stem and it is AWESOME! The extra long stem gets the probe portion (usually the last 1.5 to 2 inch section) in were the heat is normalized.
 
Thank you
