Against good advice....I bought a Weber Kettle grill.

Inside at the moment is a pile of beef and pork ribs.

Coals banked up on one side....hickory chunks on coals...top vent over the meat.


Factory dial thermo is over the coals....reads 425.....digital probe over the meat reads 235.

Could this be right?

Is my digital off? Its not in the meat...just hung in space above the meat.

Thanks.

Thats possible depending how close the probe is to the meat, how long the meats been on and if probe fully blocked from the coals by the meat.

Congrats on the purchase BTW. No more versatile BBQ/grill for the price. I have baskets to hold the coals on the side of the grill.

Yea buddy.......I can't remember being without a Weber of one size or another since I've been grown.

Nowdays I get by with a 14" Weber and a Lodge Hibachi.



Can"t help you with the thermometers Jim......i don't use em very often.

Throw your digital probe in the trash.

Turn the lid so the temp gauge is over the meat.

Schit...the tv experts said to put the vent over the meat....temp over the fire.

Maximize smokiness they said.

Sure as hell did that.....

No bimetal thermometer can be trusted. No matter who makes it.

Try this.

They go on sale all the time.

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.

Your right. More useful for smoking. For the Kettle, it's more of a gut feel. It's not rocket science.

A MK4 is nice while your training your gut.

…..and after.

Or nothing at all works.

Maybe not a "rule" but it's a darn good idea.

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.
