New build PID question

[WhoDey78]

I just purchased an inkbird ITC-106vh PID and it came with a K-type thermocouple. This will be my first time building anything like this or wiring a PID. I noticed the thermocouple has a loose-fitting, free-spinning threaded fitting at the end. Does anyone know if I need another part to thread this into? Or perhaps I just need to incorporate a nut into my build that this will screw into? Here is a link to the one I purchased.

Questions and answers shows it needs a 1/4-20 thread to screw the nut into...
You could drill and tap a 1/4-20 at the proper location...

Thank you. I must have missed that in the Q&A section.

Trying to build a brick smoker/oven and I came searching to ask this very question. I see your answer, but don't understand.

You list the thread size, but do not understand into what I am to drill and tap (proper location?). Do I dangle, or tap the brick?

Sorry for seeming like a big dummy, but that's only because I'm a big dummy when it comes to things like this.
