The digital thermometer looks cool, but I really miss just having a thermometer on the hood. I don’t like having to plug in my grill. Having an option to use batteries would have been preferable. I know you can hook a battery pack up to this, but that’s not ideal. I would have to take it inside every time I’m done using my grill. For the price, they should just include an analog thermometer in the hood as well for when you’re not plugged in. What can it hurt?
