I noticed a black washer that was placed between the rod and the outside finish of the smoker. What did you use for that? I was considering a neoprene washer but was concerned with the heat.

Does anyone have the specific locations where it would be ideal to location to drill the hole. I noticed that there was one mention of below the top grate and above the bottom grate.

Thanks for the reassurance gentlemen!

Is there any concern for residual chemicals/substances releasing from the saucer being that it isn't intended for cooking?

Sorry but I should have been a little more clear in my question. I understand there were some issues with the porcelain chipping and some debating on the best technique to minimize that. Is there a special bit/tool I need to use?

What drill bit did you guys end up using to create the hole for the rod? I just received my 18.5 yesterday and I am excited to vet the ball rolling
