I used 4 layers of masking tape. Started with a very small drill bit and slowley worked my way up to the right size hole. You gotta take it SLOW.
You and BigGQ are smart guys. :D I didn't think of the tape trick. :oops:

(I already have a fancy, threaded-mount thermometer with a 4-inch probe. I hesitate because I'm not sure I want to shrink the available space under the lid by 4 inches.)
 
Does the same probe at grate level method not apply to the WSM ?


If some one walks into a hardware store and ask for a 1/4" drill bit, what he is really wants is a 1/4" hole.

okay, I settled it. drilled a hole and stuck a therm in it. Now its done.
How'd you start the hole without (a) centerpunching and chipping more enamel than intended, or (b) skating and skitching all over the lid with a runaway drill? ;)

John, wait until March when I come to visit. Mr. Beefeater and I would be pleased to help you drill holes in your WSM.

John - when are you sending out the invites for the big party?
It's a rolling party, barbecue-touring through the Southeast. Got any ideas for must-stop destinations for us? :D

(BTW, social stops along the way are a great idea!)
