I want to modify my 22" Weber kettle by drilling a couple of holes to accept temp probes. Right now I am leaning toward drilling holes just big enough to accept the probe and cable. I am suspicious of the silicone grommet because it is a certainty (an absolute certainty, I tell you!) in my world that the kettle temp will at some point very soon exceed the 400-ish°F temp limit for the silicon. Where specifically do y'all recommend drilling the holes (height relative to grill surface and angular orientation relative to the lid vent)? I'm thinking the main concern is keeping the probe cables away from the heat source (SnS) opposite the vent. Also, where to place the grill temp probe? I have a good feeling for height (mid-food height), but how far "into" the grill? I have seen the AR discussion w/ photo wherein the the probe is supported by a ball of aluminum foil and I will likely go that route.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations!
