The only dome topped cooker that has better temp control than a Weber kettle is a BGE or comparable ceramic kamado cooker. It should be a bbq rule that you have to learn to cook on a Weber before advancing on to any other cooker IMO.
Know fat, know flavor. No fat, no flavor.
I tried going vegan, but then realized it was a big missed steak.
Laminate together two strips of different metals. The metals will have different coefficients of thermal expansion. When the bimetal strip heats up, one side will want to lengthen more than the other so the strip will become curved. The thermometer uses this deflection to generate a temperature reading.

A thermocouple (example: J type, K type) is also a bimetal temperature measure device/method. The junction of two dissimilar metals creates a voltage potential that is well defined for metallic pairs at optimal temperature ranges. Certainly a widely used method...thermoworks thermapen for example since we’re talking bbq. A step up from a RTD for sure.

I usually use my very old clay BGE for low and slow but at times I still use the Weber. For the indirect method on the Weber I put coals on two sides and the meat in the middle. Top vent in line between the coals. Turn lid every hour just to check temp variation. shouldn't be more than 20 degrees either way and that makes no difference in how the meat turns out.

I have never used a thermometer in any of my BBQ-ing. I haven’t a clue as to what is official.

Reckon I’m older than I thought. Like I said in other post, I wouldn’t have a clue about a thermometer and whats official.

i know this is an old thread but over the years i have found that the best way to do bbq on the weber kettle is using the Minion Method. its googleable but basically means you put an unlit bed of charcoal on one side of the kettle and then light about 10 briquets in a starter and put them on top of the unlit pile. in my kettle this regulates it to about 250.
