Good info all around . Nice heads up from
tallbm
on hole sizes . You could still use the stock mount and grommet . Just stick the temp probe thru up to the threads .
If you want to bolt it in place , I think I would fab up a bracket . Flat metal or a fender washer . Drill the holes like tallbm said , but bolt the probe to the bracket , then fasten the bracket to the smoker from the outside . You'd have to adjust the size of the outside hole to allow the nut to be let into the back .
You'll have to check , that threaded shoulder might be long enough to go through the case .
If you go back to the thread I linked , and look at post #5 . Something similar to that .
Good luck .
