River Country!!! To install in the WSM, I had to purchase a unibit and drill out the hole to 13/16" to fit it in, but this thing is affordable and bang-on accurate!!!! Stole the idea from T-Roy Cooks on youtube. Additionally, there's a set-screw type deal in the back where you can calibrate it - so if you wanted it to sit in the hood like I have but actually read what the temp is at the grate level, you can stick a probe in at grate level and calibrate the River Country to read what that reads- so even though it's placed in the top of the smoker, it will read the correct transcribed temp from the grate level. Couldn't recommend this therm enough.

I installed one of these last weekend and calibrated it to the probe temp at the grate. The iGrill2 wireless is great but its nice that I can just glance at this one from across the patio (at 5" diameter its pretty easy to see).
These are the handles: https://amzn.to/2LJaYJN I took a pair of sturdy pliers and a crescent wrench and bent the mounting tabs slightly to fit the curve of the grill. I think you can see what I'm referring to in one of my other pictures
And this is the thermometer: https://amzn.to/2JvcMn4 I get a couple cents in amazon referral on this...full disclosure
The River County 5" seems like a good replacement
