So, I have a Pitmaster IQ120 from a few year back I was using with the Keg and was thinking about how I could adapt it to fit the WSK. Problem is, the adapter I have does not work with the controller port hole on the WSK. So, thinking about how I could do this, I just scrapped together some miscellaneous junk parts and MacGyver'd something....
Step 1 - Took the handle off a stainless steel tablespoon to make a cylinder to cover the port on the inside...
Step 2 - Took a stainless steel dog bowl from the thrift store to act as the air entry point on the outside...
Step 3 - Drill holes in the tablespoon/inside piece so I could run a bolt through it, and allow airflow. The single hole is for the bolt, the 5 holes around the side point down in the grill and are for airflow. I took the picture before I cleaned up the holes. I think I might also run a bead of high-temp silicon along the edge too just to give it a nice soft edge to prevent scratching...it doesn't really need to seal anyways.
Step 4 - Drill a hole in the dog bowl to fit in a hose adapter I found that would work for the hose from the pit controller. I also put high temperature silicon along the edge so when the two pieces were bolted together, it would get a tight seal. Just used a 4" bolt and a wingnut so it is easily removed any time.
Step 5 - Put it on and hook it up...the bolt sticking out the bottom of the dog bowl will get trimmed down a bit once I am sure this is my final setup. Not sure if I want to leave something on semi-permanently, or add/remove when needed.
Step 6, connect controller and test..still need to figure out the optimal setting for the vents and controller, but I'll figure that out over time...so far, working well!
