Overview
A replacement lid-mounted temperature gauge sized for Weber's 22.5 inch Smokey Mountain Cooker smoker, sold as a drop-in swap for a factory gauge that has failed or corroded.
This is a repair part rather than an upgrade: Weber's original lid gauge on the 22.5 inch Smokey Mountain Cooker is known to let rainwater in over time, which fogs the dial or sticks the needle. The listing's own bullet points are generic shipping boilerplate rather than real specs, but the description and buyer reviews confirm it as an exact fit replacement for that specific smoker size.
- Sized for the 22.5 inch Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker
- Mounts into the existing factory gauge hole
- Reads temperature at the top of the lid
- Sold as a direct replacement part
Who it's for
Owners of the 22.5 inch Weber Smokey Mountain Cooker whose factory lid gauge has stopped reading correctly or filled with water, who want a direct swap rather than adding a separate probe thermometer.
