They are nice and heavy. I see now why they cost so much.
Question: Its not going to be easy to drill such a large hole in 3/8 steel.
Can I weld a 1/2 pipe coupler on the door, drill a smaller hole for the stem to fit thru and screw the thermo in?

Pony I don't see why that would not work. Take the coupler and cut it in half. Weld one half for each temp. CF
OK, get over it, you lost. God bless America

Not a problem to drill a big hole or not a problem to use a coupler welded on?

Pony,
Small hole with half coupler will work fine although I normally torch a hole large enough for the half coupler then weld the coupler. By torching the hole and utilizing the half coupler I can adjust the gauge to an angle of my preference prior to welding. I think the tel-tru is the best gauge on the market although a small word of caution. If you ever max the gauge temp and I don't mean past max, just max; it's shot as for accuracy.
