Where's the most ideal place to mount a thermometer on the lid of a 22.5 OTG? If i'm going to drill a hole in the lid i want it to be in the right place. I'm kinda thinking 180 degrees from the vent, but would like to hear others

Stefan,

I placed mine @ 90 deg so when I am indirect cooking on one side with the vent over the meat the thermo is facing me. I can't see where you could go wrong either way, just my personal preferance.

Found this...


Ascetically that's the best place for sure.
New Performer is also in the same place i believe.
 
Installed.

Really like that the thermo came with an insert that goes into the hole then the thermo slides into it.

nice job on the mod Stefan! Take it you put the tap on to avoid paint chipping? </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
That was the plan with the tape but the porclain sill chipped a little. Nothing too major.
 
I put mine in the same position as yours. Used plenty of tape and a step drill bit and it still chipped. Lucky the therm just covered the chipped part. I ordered the performer therm to keep things as weber as possible. I have to admit that I was a bit nervous drilling into my kettle. Good job my fellow countryman.
