Tom, awesome mods! The Inkbird under the shelf is pure genius, my friend. Like you I use my grill and smoker year round ( I’m in Kansas). I’ll be copying your mods on my Webers. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

You had me going for a bit there, Tom. It's almost like Weber wants you to void your warranty! Awesome tutorial with no part left to the imagination.

Good video Tom! I’m not sure if you touched on it in this video, but I was a little disappointed in SnS for not deburring the contact side of the probe port cover. Mine had sharp edges on the backside from the laser cut. I ended up breaking the burrs with a file and touching up the paint. Just something to note, as it would scratch up the outer finish of the kettle.

Nice mod Tom. I have a spare weber daisy wheel. Do you think it could work as a guru/smoke hole port cover if I mounted it on my bowl but just drilled out one daisy wheel hole?

Thanks for watching Sparky! It’s worth a try, however once you drill the hole that attaches the daisy wheel, you are then committed to it. I hate to say yes and have it not work..Sorry

I don't know why Weber omits features like this on so many grills - other than denying warranty claims from people modding their grills or eventually upselling to more "premium" models. Oh well, we still love em anyways ;-)

I just installed both of these items on my Weber 26 inch kettle. I installed the smoke hole above the holes used by Weber for their one touch system, but below the hardware for the charcoal grate. All went well, but I hope I didnt put the smoke hole a bit too high. :(. I think I couldve went a bit lower and still been ok. Do you think this will impact functionality of the hole is higher than Weber's?
