You'd think I wouldn't hesitate to drill a hole in my kettle when you consider I already drilled six holes to attach my Unknown BBQ lid hinge. Yet hesitant I am.
I'm not handy enough to do anything fancy. I'd just take the same B&D plug-in drill with a 1/4" bit and drill through, then use my Dremel to grind down the burrs. I'm not going to buy black paint just for this job, but a little Froglube paste should help with rust (or any color paint I have lying around, or silicone or . . . there are options). That's it. Just a quarter-inch hole is all I can reliably manage. I hesitate over heat loss, damaging my grill, or regretting the placement later on.
Talk me out of it (or into it).
