Just curious, have any of you drilled a hole in the side of you smoker to pass your temperature probes through? Seems this would be easier on the cords than passing them through the door and getting crimped every time you close it.
I'm thinking of a half inch or three quarter inch hole with a silicone grommet to soften the edges. Should I worry about smoke escaping? I would think the chimney would keep drawing the smoke up and out correctly, but perhaps the hole would allow air in that might affect the smoke? Anyone see any flaws in this plan?
