I purchased a Billows and the Smoke X4. with the hopes of installing the Billows on my new 26 Kettle. If you have a fan for your Kettle, 22 or 26, where do you drill the whole? I also purchased one of those graduated drill bits. I assume I just drill it to the same size of the vent holes? I also purchased a few of those rubber grommets to put in the side to run my leads through.. Thank you in advance.

I have the Pit Viper fan but i expect the design is similar. I would put the hole above the level of the ash sweepers but below the charcoal grate. Might be easiest to drill your pilot hole from inside the kettle. A center punch helps to start the hole if you have one so the drill does not slide. Then use your step bit to slowly drill from outside in till you get the hole size you need. I put mine on the opposite side to my slow n sear.Last edited by jgreen; April 11, 2020, 01:29 PM.

I post this in an attempt to help our newbies (to which I once was a short time ago) not feel so overwhelmed on the topic of selecting a cooker that is right for them. There are a lot of “looking for advice on a cooker†posts from newbies and seasoned vets looking to expand their arsenal. Obviously, the choices and opinions

ANother question if I can. When you take the Billows off of the grill, what type of plug do you put in that hole?
