digital thermometer probes

[RobertZ]

I've searched & read a lot on this & just want to clarify.....to get probes to the grill and/or meat either the grill & lid are notched or a hole is drilled??

Or you can go down through the top vent.

I thought about the top vent but wondered whether that would put the thermometer body where it might get fried. how long are the leads on these probes?

Neither.
Just through the top vent. You can shield the thermo with some foil at its basement.
