Thermometer - A personal experience

A big thanks to Lance for posting the information on installing a thermometer in your Bullet. Fortunately, Lance and Todd understand a few basic economic principles that prevented us from chasing too far down that rabbit trail of government style spending. Here's the deal: a $15 thermometer should not require a $45 uni-bit for the installation. That only make sense if you are responsible for spending tax payer money.

Lance and I both got our thermometers installed with a simple bit - 3/8" in my case. Before installing mine I tested it to see if it was properly calibrated - held it in a pot of boiling water and it appears to be properly calibrated. For the record, I ordered mine from kck.com - good prices and quick delivery. I'm going to order another one for my kettle. For the kettle I will probably get the one that goes up to 750 degrees.

Here's a picture of my handy work - notice the symmetry of the thermometer and vent relative to the handle.
