I always suspected our outdoor grill thermometer was whacked. It always seemed to read high to me, but I thought maybe it was because of its location in the hood over the burners.

Nope.

It was whacked.

I bought a new replacement that was highly recommended and put both the old one and the new one in a 425* oven to test. The old one is on the left and the new one on the right.

The old one reads 540* in a 425* oven…that’s fubar.

Needless to say, the new one is now installed on the grill.
 
Got the side finished and primed where I extended the vertical opening from 2-1/4" to 3-1/4". Now on to the otherside.

In a previous live, I had a grill with one if those.

I seem to remember a nut on the back for adjustment.

Boy, does that take me back!

In the mid 80's I worked for a place by the name of Riteway Motor Parts, and two doors down from our Plymouth store was a shop where they added all of the accessories to the Highway Patrol Mustangs that were just being rolled-out. The guys that worked there came into the store often enough that we got to know them pretty well, and long story short: I got to "test drive" one of the Mustangs about 2 miles up Highway 55 and back, in Plymouth, MN, around 9:00 at night, at...let's just say...."faster than legal" speeds!

This was back when I still had my '71 SBC Vega with the Lincoln Locker, and I remember I jotted down all of the license plate numbers for the Mustangs "just in case", and passed them around to my buddies. I don't recall the numbers on the plates, but they were all sequential (456, 457, 458...), and the letters that followed were all "CNF" (we remembered them as Ceritfied Nasty F***ers).
