Just got my Gen 2 Crate and barrel performer. Cleaned it up pretty well but still has some rust/knicks on the lid. Thinking about getting a replacement gen 3 lid.
Thoughts on the difference between the thermometer in the lid vs the handle? Which do you all prefer?
Perhaps a slight preference for the old style.
The old style places the tip nearer the vent, making it more useful (accurate) in my opinion for the typical indirect cook. And also, you can remove it and use it as a leave-in meat thermometer, or swap it into an old Genesis.
The 3rd Gen thermometer could be easier to see and therefore to read. But neither will be accurate to grate temp.
