Smokin-it models have the hole predrilled with a cap for when you're not using a smoke generator like their Bella.

I contacted Grilla and they told me they sent me an email notification and suggested I check my Spam folder. I did, as well as trash, no email notification. Their reply today said they hope to have new stick late June/early July.
