Is there a thermometer on the dome lid? I do not see one on picture.

Yes, it is in the domed lid. They must have had the lid turned with the thermometer to the back when they took the picture. However, the thermometer is not measured in degrees. It is WARM - IDEAL - HOT. This works well following the cookbook directions and limitations on size and weight. You must always try to keep temp in the IDEAL range during the cooking time and may have add more charcoal should it fall below.

No there is not. I purchased an accessory thermometer in the barbecue section of my hardware store for about $8; drilled a hole to the right side of the dome lid handle and attached. It attaches with a wing nut. Took less than 2 minutes to do this. It's an addition I recommend to provide the knowledge of what is the exact temperature of the smoker. Temperature varies due to outside weather conditions along with how often you take the lid off and peek at what you are cooking. My Brinkmann has varied in cooking temperature from 200 to 250 degrees based on the outside weather variables, and the thermometer addition has allowed me to adjust cooking times based on that.

No, there is not. I use an aftermarket thermometer that I stick in the meet. This smoker is a "set it and forget it" type and it only cooks at one temp (I think it is around 275 deg. F). It works very well for novice smokers just getting into BBQ, and is also a nice addition for experienced smokers who just want to throw something in and do it quickly with very little mess.

The lids have a gauge on them. The temp is supposed to be right in the middle. If the lid spins easily, the temp is about right. If it does not spin, it is too cold and if it sputters steam it is too hot. So it is loose by design.

yes there is a temperature display on the outside that can be read without opening the case. It can be turned off when not in use to save the battery.

No markings. If I were to purchase another one I would buy one with glass lid do you can see inside as its cooking

The dial does have analog markings for temperature; though the picture might not show it. I put an actual thermometer in mine to fine-tune it. Hope that helps.

There is an on off switch . There is also a thermostat to regulate temp but I have not used it.

Just a thermometer... I use it in my bearded dragons tanks to know the basking spot temp. I also use this in my Dubia colony to know temp of the container I keep the colony in.

Yes it has the option to adjust the heat, but it just has a small scroll on it, so it does not show the temperature it is at.

You're really asking me to be clairvoyant here . . . but the is a simple way for you to check the internal temperature of your unit. Place an oven proof thermometer on the lower rack position, turn it so you can read it through the bowl, and see if it reads within 5 or 10 degrees of your dial temperature setting. If it is reading too low, then you probably have a malfunctioning unit or you house current is inadequate at the plug. That's the best I can do from afar . . . .

It has one but the water evaperates and goes out the vent. It may collect a tiny bit of water in the lower tray. but I have had no problems with it. When storing for winter just tip it backwards and any water in it will drain out the rear plug. I just put a towel behind it when I tip it back. There is not really much water in it. Just what drips off the condensor when you shut it off.

Yes, the lids are slightly domed. I agree with the specifics that Teresa posted in her answer.

As far as I know, I have never seen one. However, they do not get real hot and they are not where you might touch them. I am very satisfied with mine.

There is a dial on the top which allows for temperature adjustment, but in my opinion the temperature settings shown on the dial are not very accurate so you will definitely want a thermometer to verify that it is set properly.

Yes it has a dial on it but does not give the temperatures. It just says high-low

No, there is no indicator on the pot. You would have to open it and look inside.

It's just a thermometer. Once you've checked the temperature just turn it off then back on when you need to do it again. :)

No, I didn't see one. Check out the manual on line for this information. But I just examine it and there doesn't appear to be one.
