Anyone done the slot mod? Pictures? Im trying to get up the courage to cut that pot lid I worked so hard to get the lid to fit on lol.
 
Sorry. It where you cut a vertical slot through the top lip of the smoker just deep enough to make room so your probe wire sit in it without getting pinched by the lid. If you do a search for WSM slot mod you will see what I mean if it's not clear. I have only just seen people doing it on WSM so I was just curious if anyone had tried it on the pot lip yet.
 
Problem with that is my food probes are the thermoworks needle probes and they are quite large at their base; I would have to have a pretty big hole. I'm not sure if I could feed them through jack first as its a 90 degree connector. That's why I was looking into alternative methods.
 
I just run mine under the lid. No problems in 2 years.
