Order these from Amazon - you can adjust them. If you are comparing against a Maverick you gotta keep in mind where the probes are - esp in a UDS - the center can be 25-50* hotter than the edges. Also Maverick can be off- check it and thermos in Ice Water AND Boiling Water.:thumb:

These 2 are Old Country from Academy cuz I didn't wanna wait on Amazon- I checked them in Boiling water and they read 207*-208 * - just under 210* mark- so they are a little off but close enough.

If there is a hex at the base of the stem, you can rotate it to adjust the needle.

Lump and first 2 splits lasted 1.5 hrs - temp had dropped to 225* -just tossed on a split.

That kicks butt. I never really gave much thought to an offset verticle. But then most aren't quite like that. Good Job!

They don't make them anymore -they were put out by News Brsunsfel Smoker Company here in Tx that CharBroil or Chargriller bought out 8-10 years ago ( same with Ok Joes and a few others) - they got up to $499, But were $250-$300 for several years. You can get a lil heavier clone - 3/16th steel- built for about $650.

Academy sells a knockoff by Old Country for $299

There was one listed in the DFW CL ads the other day for $100. Looks like the ad is still active. Not too bad of a drive for you. :becky:
