Weber WSM Thermometer Bezel — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Weber WSM Thermometer Bezel?
It's the replacement outer housing—the “frame”—that surrounds the thermometer on a Weber Smokey Mountain cooker (WSM). It’s an official OEM Weber part, designed to hold the gauge securely in place.
Which models is this bezel compatible with?
This bezel is compatible with Weber WSM models that accept the 1-3/4″ dial face, including most 14.5″ and 18.5″ versions. There is also a different bezel for older 22.5″ smokers.
Why is it important to replace the bezel?
Replacing a damaged or missing bezel ensures the thermometer stays snug and flush with the lid, protecting the gauge assembly and maintaining accurate temperature readings.
How difficult is it to install?
Installation is straightforward—usually involves inserting the bezel into the lid and securing it with a wing nut and washer. Many users report that swapping out a bezel can take less than 15 minutes.
Is this part an official Weber product?
Yes. This is a genuine OEM Weber replacement component, engineered for the WSM, ensuring durability and precision fit.
What should I check before ordering?
Ensure your WSM model uses the 1-3/4″ thermometer dial and supports a low-profile bezel—vintage 22.5″ models may require a different bezel version.
