Normal Sudoku Rules Apply.
Thermos: Digits in thermometers strictly increase from the bulb to the tip.
Sandwiches: Numbers outside the grid indicate the sum of the digits sandwiched between 1 and 9 in that row or column (excluding the 1 and 9).
Toasted Sandwiches: Every given sandwich is also a thermometer (including the 1 and 9). You must determine the orientation.
Disjoint Thermos: thermometers (whether normal or delicious) may not cross or share digits.
-------------------
Additional NotesSince I just came up with this ruleset I wanted to make a hopefully fairly easy and accessible first version.
...Except both me and a checker made the exact same mistake and this was originally published in an unsolvable form. Here's the fixed version, apologies!
Lösungscode: The digits on the bottom row, left to right.

Thank you for creating this puzzle. The idea of sandwiches being thermos as well adds a crunchy interaction between the clues.
Hope we can see more of these!

There seems to be an error. Sudokupad says I’ve completed however the digit entered in R9:C3 does not match the thermometer Rule?

Several of the thermos have been changed to fix a mistake both me and my checker made (the puzzle only had a solution if you forgot the sandwiches-are-thermos rule in one place).
The break in and most of the logic remains the same.
