tkline01 Posted June 5, 2008 Report Posted June 5, 2008 If my thermo has gone bad....witch Tel-Tru model do I purchase to replace it?. I let the KK get so hot that the thermo went all the way around! I'm going to check it in some boiling water to see if it is still working....but I wanted to know what model I would get if I have to replace it. Thanks!
DennisLinkletter Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Re: WOW! That was HOT! If my thermo has gone bad....witch Tel-Tru model do I purchase to replace it?. Thanks! It should be able to be re-calibrated.. It's a LT225R 5" stem Don't walk away takes on a whole new meaning at 1,200ºf
Firemonkey Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Ill bet the inside is nice and clean now, though! At least you wont have to clean the grates before your next cook

How would one "re-calibrate" it?
Firemonkey Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 there is a nut on the back. use it to set the temp to be accurate at a known temp, like boiling water.

Firemonkey Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 Yep, within a few degrees depending on your altitude. Your handle got scorching hot with the lid closed, or was it open when you walked off?

Firemonkey Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 how long did you leave it? If the handle was that hot, it must have been a little while.
Sanny Posted June 6, 2008 Report Posted June 6, 2008 When you opened it, lucky it didn't flash back and ruin your whole day... Horrors!
