I've got an 18.5" WSM that I bought off craiglist and it doesn't have the probe hole in it. I'll be using the Thermoworks Pro-Series High temp probe: http://www.thermoworks.com/products/alarm/chefalarm.html?tw=VWB#ProbeTab
I've seen some people just cut a groove just below the lip of the barrel portion so the wires don't get kinked under the lid and it seats better around the rest of the barrel portion.
Any other options?
Thought about getting one of the weber inserts and drilling a large hole through the side.
Thought about getting a silicon grommet from maverick but don't know if it would fit over the Thermoworks probes. I'm guessing you could probably get it over the probe but only if the grommet isn't installed on the side of the smoker. Here's the maverick grommet. http://www.maverickhousewares.com/parts/et-732-silicone-grommets
What are your guys thoughts/setups?
