Tel-TruBQ300 Barbecue Thermometer, 3 inch Black dial with Zones, 2.5 inch stem, 100/500 Degrees F

Added to my Old Country BBQ Pits grill very accurate. Expensive but worth it, I do think it’s dumb to not include the nut and washer with this product. Update to my review 2 of my thermometers have developed condensation in the middle of gage. Not sure if this will go away or if the seal has an issue. The Thermometers still seem to be working but I don’t like the fact that there is the condensation in them.

Installed BQ300 just above grate level, on firebox side, of Oklahoma Joe Longhorn Combo grill and smoker.Requires a 7/8-inch hole, for which a step drill worked well.You do need the installation kit, sold separately, but those parts were perfect. That's also the source for installation instructions, such as they are. The diagram was helpful, as were the specs for two wrenches needed to finish installation. The larger wrench, 1-1/4 inch, must be an open-ended wrench like a box or crescent. It also must be slim. Several wrenches were too fat. Finally used a small crescent wrench that opened wide and was thin enough. The installation kit would be better if they included a thin, cheap wrench in the right size.In use, temperature readings compared closely with other measurements, such as a probe. There was some difference at times from the OEM thermometer near the top of the smoke chamber, but that's why I added this one.Thermometer was in a box that had instructions for calibration of several different models of Tel-Tru thermometers. That was puzzling since the unit received does not appear to have that feature.I'm please. Good upgrade to my smoker. Hope this helps someone.

I have a large (5 ft) Viking grill with the worst thermometer ever (it has "temperature zones" not actual readings). When the Viking thermometer became inaccurate, and an OEM replacement was EXPENSIVE!!).I ordered and installed the Tell-Tru BQ300 barbecue thermometer. The only modification I had to make was to enlarge the hole about 1/8" of the inner wall (less than 30 seconds with a step drill bit). If I got a new Viking grill, this would be the first modification I made to it.

The temperature displayed is very accurate. I tested it against my digital thermometer and it was spot on.

recommended by a BBQ expert friend as simply the best to have! It was pricey but worth it long term as I'll have it for a long time

Picked up a couple of these to replace the generic ones my smoker came with . They work great and look great too. You may need to buy a step-up bit because these were a little bigger but after 3 years they are well worth the price to upgrade from the originals.

It’s a Tel-Tru, what else can you expect from them but a 5 star product!

Very well built and accurate. The unit is expensive but is very well madeI use it on my Weber Smoky Mountain smoker. Makes nice addition to my 2008 Smoky Mountain. There are less expensive units out there but this unit is very nicely made with great details
