Buck1974- You can take your stock temp gauge out and boil some water(boils @ 212*) and hold in there to see just how far off it is and add or subtract degrees needed. I went to
www.rivercountry101.com and bought a gauge w/ 3" face that you can calibrate and put that in the door. It has a longer stem and runs about $18. I also have the Maverick
ET73 but the water thing will get you by until you get your new Maverick. If you're having a hard time keeping your temp down, light your burner on HIGH then turn back towards OFF to get a pilot like flame if desired. If the opposite is the case, I bought a welding blanket @ Harbor Freight that I use to wrap my "44 or ECB to keep the temps UP.
