Abstract: A meat thermometer for barbecue grills, broilers, or ovens having a stem containing a bimetallic element in one end thereof, a cylindrical housing secured to the other end of the stem, an indicator within the housing and rotatable in the housing in response to changes of temperature as detected by the bimetallic element, said housing including a cap secured thereto by means passing through the housing and located out of the path of said indicator. The cylindrical housing has a semi-circular slot through which said indicator is visible, said semi-circular slot having temperature calibrations on its surface.

Abstract: A meat thermometer for barbecue grills, broilers, or ovens having a stem containing a bimetallic element in one end thereof, a cylindrical housing secured to the other end of the stem, an indicator within the housing and rotatable in the housing in response to changes of temperature as detected by the bimetallic element, said housing including a cap secured thereto by means passing through the housing and located out of the path of said indicator. The cylindrical housing has a semi-circular slot through which said indicator is visible, said semi-circular slot having temperature calibrations on its surface. The housing is sandwiched between a disk on the stem and a cap, the housing having a recess which eliminates the tendency of the cap to cock with respect to the disk upon assembly.
