Making a list of mods for my new Weber Kettle and this is now on the list. Great video, so glad you showed the parts while in the original packaging, makes it easier to find the parts.
I just installed two brass temp probe ports as you explained and they look great and were super easy to do. Special thanks for you idea and demo/instruction on how to do this modification!! Looks so professional !!
Great idea and video thanks for posting it. Question: How much does the nipple protrude into the grill? My current port interferes with the placement of the grate . I have a 26 Premium with the lid holder which places 2 cap nuts on the opposite side of the handle. I installed one of those fancier looking nipples with the compression sleeve , but as said above it makes getting the grate in a pita.
Thanks Steve. It only protrudes into the body of the grill by about 1/8”, or the thickness of the interior nut. It’s worked out great, with multiple uses a week since I made the video.
It looks like it has been about a year, any rust where you drilled? Are the lamp nipples and hex nuts tight enough to keep moisture away from the exposed edge of the kettle? Thanks!
Very neat job, thanks for sharing all the details. Quick question, do the hinged grates on the master touch open and close without catching on the inside of the pit?
I’m glad I found this before performing a different mod! Have you noticed any smoke leaks or change in maintaining temperature when using a single probe?
Wow. This is an awesome idea and exactly what I was looking for. I have to say this is the quickest I have subscribed to a channel ever.
Awesome! Thank you!
Why haven’t I thought of this…. Thanks man.

Best solution I’ve seen so far. Bravo!
Thank you very much!
Thanks very helpful can’t wait to do mine.
Alex, thank you for the great video. I am going to Ace hardware tomorrow to purchase the parts to make this mod to my grill.
Best port mod video I’ve seen! Thank you!
Thank you for your kind words! Glad you liked the video!
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
Thank for the tricks and tips! Awesome! 🤟
So simple. Thank you
Great video, I did this exact thing for my Smokey Joe mini WSM.
How many probes can you fit through that port?
Grrat mod, i did this for my Weber Mini WSM.
Its a clean low profile probe port.
Great idea!👍👍
Thank you!
great idea! will it accommodate 2 probes? Thanks!!
It sure does. You can probably use 3 I just haven’t done it.
how many probes can go thru and the correct location on the grill.

Genius! Easy. Simple.

Correct. They don't catch on anything. Thanks for watching!
do you find this better than a grill grommet
I’m glad I found this before performing a different mod! Have you noticed any smoke leaks or change in maintaining temperature when using a single probe?
No issues with leaks or temp inconsistencies at all! Been working great for a ton of long smokes.
@@The_Craftsman_ Awesome, thanks! I just ordered the items from my local Ace and will pick up them up and install before my next smoke session.
My thermaworks probe will not fit through that lamp stock
Nice! Might do this on my pellet grill. How many probe wires fit thru 1 port at a time?
2 without issue for sure. 3 or 4 might be doable.
