Upgrade Replacement Thermometer for Big Green Egg, with 3.3" Large Dial

I had a Tel-Tru in my Big Green Egg for a number of years until it broke. Since it did a good job I ordered another Tel-Tru BQ325R here on Amazon. Unfortunately, the Tel Tru that I bought was leaky and within a short period of time there was water in it. Drops of water, not just a little bit. If you look at the reviews for Tel-Tru it's not an uncommon complaint. Bought one of these because the Tel-Tru failed and it's worked really well. It's accurate - compared it with another thermometer that clips on to the grate and most importantly it doesn't leak. Have had it out in the weather and the inside is as dry as a bone. Another big benefit - this thermometer is significantly less expensive. Next time I need a new one for my Egg, I'm getting another one of these. Why spend twice as much for a lousy product. Tel-Tru has really dropped the ball.

I got this b/c my old one I could barely read. It's easy to read and very accurate. Can cook a mean pastrami on my egg now.

I love this temp gauge. Replaced the bands and gasket on my Big Green Egg and decided I'd change out the dome temp gauge; the old one had started getting condensation inside, and I wanted a larger one. Temped it for accuracy when it came in and it was spot-on. My BGE is about 15 feet from the back door and this gauge is large enough for me to look out the door and across the deck and easily see what temp I'm running. And it goes up to 900°F! Don't really need that, but 700° for pizza is common. I highly recommend this item.

Yes, perfect fit. I have yet to use the barbeque but expect it will work properly

Nice looking and easy to read. Appears sturdy enough. Haven’t had the opportunity to try it.

I can read it from a mile away!

I appreciate the instructions telling me how to check the calibration of the unit. I checked mine and it came in at reading 10 degrees lower than what it should be. The instructions said that I could return it if the calibration was off, but I elected to keep it as I now know what the actual reading is. For my needs it was going to be to much of a hassle for me to return.

Works on XL Green Egg

It's a great size, visible from, afar, and seems good quality materials. The only concern is that the clamp-on device is pretty thin, as is the thermometer stem it has to hold onto. I'm going to add a fender washer ( big diameter, small hole) to give the clamp a better surface to hold onto. Otherwise, I'm a happy customer!

Thanks!!

Tested the temp with boiling water and it was accurate. Excellent start. Went to use it the second time and the dial fogs up for some reason. I’m cooking at 24c ambient temp so no reason for that to happen. Not happy.
