Ideal For Many Grills: Our grommet is a perfect fit for Weber (TM) Smokey Mountain Cookers (TM) with no drilling required (14.5", 18.5" and 22.5"). Other grills can be easily adapted to use the probe by drilling a 1.25 inch hole in the side of the grill (tips below)
Measure Temperature Easily: Our thermometer and probe port makes it easy to feed probes into your grill without crushing or damaging the sensor cord under the lid. The small round hole is perfect for smaller probes and the larger slot port is great for large or dual probes
Our thermometer grommets are made from high-quality, high-temperature-resistant, food-grade silicone and are durable, robust, and made to last
Drilling tips:
Use a 1 1/4" drill bit made for drilling metal.
Use a corded drill (or a high power cordless drill) for best results.
Drill just above grate level for most accurate temperature reading.
Hold the drill bit firmly against the side of the grill and use the drill bit slowly and evenly to ensure a good hole.
Once drilled, run the drill bit through the hole several times to ensure a clean hole.
Installation tips:
Soak the grommet in hot water first to make it more pliable.
Use a small amount of cooking oil to lubricate the grommet and ensure an easy installation.
