I replaced the porcelain grates that came with the smoker with 3/4 inch stainless explained metal. I had the metal shop cut the piece into 3 pieces and used a grinding dremel bit to take down the razor sharp edges.
I drilled a 5/8 hole and put a rubber grommet in these holes are for my digital temp probes one on the left and one on the right. I fabricated a rubber stopper once the probe is in to prevent any heat or smoke escape.
Next pic will show the hole plugged with the stopper!
I installed 5.5 inch 200 pins pressure toggle clamps on each side that compresses the gasket seal. No smoke is leaking out of this puppy now!! Highly recommend.
