Hello all,
I have an older WSM that did not come with the built-in temp probe grommets. I use the Maverick temp monitor with 1 probe for meat temp and 1 probe for grate temp. I had been creative in getting them inside the WSM. I use the vent door for one (wires are smashed up when closed) and I go thru the vent hole on the lid for the other probe. Needless to say, it's a pain to work around this during the cook.
I was thinking of loosening up two of the screw holes near the top grate. I will lose some smoke thru them but I think it's minimal. This way, I have a dedicated place to insert my temp probes.
I also saw videos of folks drilling holes into their WSM. I am not very handy and don't have the special tools at home. I prefer a low tech solution!
Thoughts...advice?
