wsm: best place for pit probe?

maverick has those clips included to install the probe on the grate. most of the time this is in my way.
i will permanently install a thermocouple probe. so i'm thinking of drilling a hole in my cylindrical part of my wsm, maybe above or next to the door. is that a good idea? or is there a better place to install it? temperature may differ from place to place?!
 
My thermocouple probe is inserted in a hole about an inch below the top grate and it works perfectly. Because of the length of the probe, the temp is read about 4 inch's from the edge of the center section. I used a threaded insert so it won't just fall out.

See this link. Not cheap but works great and I have had these for years.
