Have never used the Polder, but I'm liking the idea of monitoring temps
using the remote sensor.
With a BGE, does the wire require the felt between the base and dome to be
cut or grooved?

I used a polder previously buy it wasn't remote. I had no problems with it.
I now use a Maverick ET-73 remote which has 2 probes: one for the grill temp
and another for the meat temp. I really like it.

I also don't have a BGE but I do have a Grill Dome (also a ceramic cooker)
and you don't have to do anything to it to get the wires to run through. The
wires are flat, not round on the ET-73, and not thick enough to worry about.
I never did use the polder on the Grill Dome and no longer remember anything
about the wires.

NO, do not cut or groove the felt gasket, experience speaking here. The temp of the ceramic gets
real close to max temp of the probe (392º) even when cooking at 300º to 350º. If you decide to do
it after this warning, rest assured that you can patch the probe wire to a workable condition until
your replacement arrives from Taylor Precision Products.
