@DaGoomba, it’s a great thermometer, has a small potentiometer on the back so you can calibrate it to match grate temps. I’ve never touched it, as it matches my grate temps when comparing to my Maverick and Inkbird. Key is positioning. I don’t think I’ve cooked anything on this one without using an external thermometer/probe though (after mods & when temp monitoring was needed). Kinda like the gasket, I thought I needed it back when. I do like watching it though when I cook. Overall, yeah this one has a custom feel with thermometer, gasket, vent handles, probe port and lid hinge. Is all that needed? No, but I sure do treasure this kettle.
