The one on my 22.5 has been replaced twice already by Weber. The first 2 stopped rising around 225-275 and the 3rd one averages about 15 degrees lower than the grate which I've read is about right but at least doesn't stop rising. I use a Maverick ET-73 to monitor cooking temps.
I would get a Maverick ET-732. That is what I have and I love it. Here is the best price I could find, plus if you use coupon code bbq-brethren2011, you get 5% off:

That is the exact code that i used with NO result. However a hand written note on the bill of sale told me that i needed a hyphen between brethren and 2011.

Did they go ahead and give you the 5% off?
