bbq'n

[John_PY]

Alright guys,
I know a lot of you are in the states where bbq'n is more of a hobby than here in the UK.

I have a small plate steel bbq, grill, smoker, rotisserie.

Here is what I need help with. I am looking for a good/great thermometer to replace my current one which only goes up to 300*C.
I am wanting to know what this bad boy gets up to as when the old thermometer is used it goes well past the 300* register.
Any help much appreciated.

We bbq all year here, nothing better on a fishing trip in - 15 degree C temperatures and strong winds on top of that.
And then after the food is made and eaten trow a couple of cocio on the grill.

You will have a difficult time finding a "cooking" thermometer that goes over 300 C (572 F). There are probably some laboratory thermometers that will go higher but will cost you a lot more than a cooking one. Is that one in the picture attached to the top of the cooker? That may be why it goes over the 300 mark. For cooking you want a probe type thermometer so you can find the temp of the inside of what you are cooking. If that is a probe thermometer and it is reading over 300 C then you probably need a new thermometer.
