I have an 05 performer with the "dual purpose" thermometer. It is removable from the dome and then can be inserted in the meat, or at least that is what I would assume is meant by this. The only problem is I actually got this used and it was missing the thermometer, and when I was cleaning it up I broke off the metal bracket that holds it. Now I have a small slot under the handle that I currently have plugged with foil. Without the foil I can't get the grill to fully shut down after a cook.
Two things I wondering.
1. Any suggestions for plugging the hole that is better than the foil?
2. I completely understand the issue with the dome thermometer, and I don't rely on it when cooking. I have an old iGrill (before Weber bought iGrill) two probe with a display (they display is dim and does not stay on) and a Weber iGrill (single probe no display) that I have to connect to my phone to get a temp, and I also use a Thermoworks Thermapen classic that I use for every cook indoors and out. All that said, the dome Thermometer is still useful to me from afar since neither of my digital thermometers have an always on display. I generally compare the dome thermometer to the digital and use that as a reference to ballpark the temp to at least know if I have an issue, like the fire went out or the temp rose drastically. With that in mind what thermometer would you advise?
