Thinking of getting a 22 inch wsm off Craigslist. It's nib is there a way to tell if it's one of the newer ones with the grommet for the temp probes to go through? Like is there a different model number or anything?
Thanks
Yeah there is a bit of a technique to it. You have to start half of it in the slot, and then kind of roll it around the edge with out it popping thru. I put one hand on each side of it. Glad you got it worked out. Good score on a new smoker.
I have a new 14.5 with the grommet (a bit of Canola oil on the grommet and it went right in). Frankly, I didn't like using the grommet. I found it a pain in the tuckus! I did the same thing I had done to my original 18.5" and Mini-Joe - I cut a groove in the top lip of the barrel for the Maverick probe wires. The groove is MUCH easier to use, make that MUCH, MUCH easier to use.
