Only thing though is that the handle strap that was used for that type of thermometer is taller. For those that have larger hands/fingers, it's probably not an option.
And Weber also pointed the thermo going the other way. It puts the probe tip a little nearer the vent side and so also, more away from heat (for indirect cooking).
So for the newer kind like I linked to, for best hope of accuracy, place it nearest the lid vent you can, as down low as you can ... might need to forgoe the bezel in that case.
Like state48bbq did his.
