Nice looking thermometer and easy to read. It seems expensive though---I think I paid about $15...just make sure whatever you get has a nice long probe so you can get into the middle of a big tri tip.

When you do the paper towel thing, wad it up into a ball and pour a few tbs of oil into a bowl and saturate the paper towel and rub it back & forth over the grates each time...you will see a lot of black on the paper towel instead of your food.

Most grills are too large,, the Weber Performer works best for me, and the e310, big Genesis just sets,
^^ Thanks all for the help. Ended up going with the Spirit E-310, it was a bit of a splurge to get the 3rd burner but didn't break the bank (also in the process of buying new furniture, etc., so only so much to go around).
Lowe's was great - found a 10% off coupon online that stacked with the free delivery and assembly offer. Grill is already at the house and has been used once with excellent results!
Looking forward to many more outings this summer!
