I sell kits with bimetal dial thermometers because people like to install them, but I always recommend to spot check your temps with a more accurate, quick reading digital thermometer like this one prior to walking away from a mash. I've tried half a dozen instant read thermometers and this is by far my favorite. Waterproof, Recalibratable, 5 year warranty, and under 20 bucks! As of April 2012, these units have an improved narrow tip that reads even faster.
