That’s a nice graph, but why lol

There was a photographer back in the 1970's who, when asked why he took a certain picture, replied "Because I wanted to see what it looked like as a photograph."

Something like that.

Well as a photographer I can appreciate that thought

there appears to be a huge amount of play when the gauge is installed on a domed surface (weber summit).

I think it's more a function of the hole the stem goes through than the dome curvature. The main GG base is a tripod, but they are fixing it to the lid with the stem. There is supposed to be a clip or wing nut on the inside to hold it in place, which the reviewer chose not to use.

I guess I was able to get myself on the beta test list.  The longer probe arrived recently.  Once I have some free time I’ll try to set everything up and let you all know what happens.

What's more important, a probe or a scapel? You know I can't see why such a big therm is important....I put on my 500X cheaters and it ain't much difference.
