Bezel and Therm
Triangulate from handle strap 5"
Bit selection
UniBit cutter is "Sharpied" so that I stop BEFORE that cutter engages
Hole is started through the blue tape with a sharp 1/8" bit...NO CENTERPUNCH needed.
Go slowly, stay square (perpendicular) to lid and the tape will hold you on center.
You will get slight chipping but nothing catastrophic using a sharp UniBit (carefully).
Third hand (blue tape) is used while flat washer and wingnut are snugged up
Lightly snugged is all that's needed
Job Complete
Weber part numbers for this mod are...
Bezel #63027 (this is the low-pro smooth bezel)
Therm #63028 (correct "smoker scale" therm*)
*As opposed to "grill scale" (I want more detail in the smoker heat range)
This particular weber therm checked out against a Tel Tru so I believe it to be pretty accurate
It will be used for rough reference only and backed up by my Maverick ET-732
