How to choose
An instant-read thermometer is the highest-value purchase in outdoor cooking, full stop. It converts guessing into knowing, and it will improve your food more than spending several hundred pounds more on a grill.
A leave-in probe at grate level matters just as much on long cooks, because lid thermometers measure dome air and can read 15°C or more away from where the food actually sits.
