Apologies if this topic has been covered before, but how far have people gone exploring the idea of of installing a fan (Pit Viper, Fireboard fan, or similar) into a Weber kettle without drilling or grinding a hole? I've got a brand new new 22" Master Touch coming, and I am not completely opposed to drilling/grinding (I've done it to an old 22" and my 26" already and life goes on...) just curious if there's a non-destructive alternative.
Both of my tentative ideas involve using the existing intake vents at the bottom:

Both of my tentative ideas involve using the existing intake vents at the bottom:
- My first thought is that maybe there's a way to loosen one of the three internal fin pieces so that I could keep two of the bottom vents closed while clamping the fan to the third.
- My second thought is that maybe there's some kind of magnetic, heat resistant, "sheet" material that exists that could cover the vents selectively, and be removed for cleaning and cooks that don't require the fan.
