Why bother with a vent cover on a Silver?

After a long-ish cook the ash may block the vent so many folks make vent cover - but IMHO that is the hard way.

Drill one to four one inch diameter holes in the SJS like where they are in the SJG and to close them just use refrigerator magnets.
 
I installed damper vents on two sides of my SJS. I also did the SS pet bowl with holes as another option. Your idea is great as well!

nice job there. I think I like this idea along with building a charcoal basket to more closely emulate the WSM.
 
Nice man! Post pics when you install em! I just went with two, but have yet to use them as I can get up to 275 without em!
 
You and 6 others... Looks like I should ask her for a commission!

RGleason, Looks like you drilled the center hole first, then marked the 3 vents, center punched and cranked out the three holes... Just that simple?

Yes sir! Easy to install! 3/4" holes so a kwik step bit is your friend on this mod!
