Hi All, I'm new here, and I wanted to introduce myself. I live in Buda, Texas, and I've been cooking outdoors much of my life, starting with open fire and Dutch Oven cooking in Boy Scouts more than 60 years ago. I had a Big Green Egg on a wheeled nest for several years until it rolled out of the workshop bay door, tipped over and smashed itself into lots of pieces. I now cook on a six or seven year old Weber Genesis 310 and an equally aged 22" Weber kettle. After following several of the recipes here for the Weber kettle, I don't seem to fire up the gas grill any more. I stumbled onto this website, bought a Slow n Sear and have been having more fun (and better food!) than ever before. I just added a ThermoWorks Smoke but haven't used it yet. I'm trying to get up my nerve to drill a couple of 3/8" holes just above the grate to accommodate the grill and meat probes. Happy to be here. I learned more in three hours browsing on this website than I learned in the previous 10 years of BBQing on my own. So I joined.

Welcome to The Pit Robert. Don't worry about drilling a hole or two in your kettle - it won't feel a thing.
Seriously, go to Lowes, HD, or a plumbing supply house and get a brass close nipple and a brass cap to fit. You might also need a couple lock nuts to hold the nipple in place. A 1/2" will work well and you can put all your probes through one hole. If your probes are "L" shaped, make sure they will fit through the nipple before drilling,
