Well, after finding and scouring this site, and the subsequent drooling thereafter, I had to do some shopping!  Guess what showed up on the UPS truck today!

Excellent choice! You plan to mod out of the box, or experiment on your own?

@Spoolinaz, I followed the advice from here, and tossed the stock chip & water pan (you all are right, they are a joke).  After last nights initial burn, then a tray of Mac & Cheese, I found the stock thermometer to be 50 degrees off from my grate thermometer that I know is correct from my oven.  So, stock thermometer = junk.  Would like to follow some advice and build a smokestack with damper for the top of the cabinet ( good thing I own a machine shop :))  Last would be to seal the door.  It didn't leak bad, but I could see the door warping over time.  All in all though I was pretty happy.  $205 from Amazon with free shipping (I'm a prime member) 

SO!  Anyone recommend a good door thermometer?  Or how to mount a digital probe somewhere?

Thanks!

Great score.

Here's what I recommend a bit pricey but dead nuts on.

You will also want to get a remote thermo so you are not having to run back and forth to check food and smoker temps 

Maverick ET 732 is my recommendation and it is sold by one of our members
