My digital thermometer has a cable running from the probe to a sensor. How does everyone run the cable through the smoker? Just pinch it in the door or drill a hole in the side of the cabinet or what is done?
MoFo I run mine thru the top vent. I am going to put one in the side as soon as get a 1/2" UF water tight connector fitting. But right now I just lay a 2X4 piece on top of mine and put the transmiters on it, they dont get hot that way. Hope this helps out a little...
I use one of the original holes that was in the door, It had some small metal piece riveted to the door. When i removed the nameplate with the built in POC therm, I ended up with some extra holes in the door. I made use of the hole for the original therm and replaced it with an after market unit.
On my charcoal model, I used to run probe wires near the latch, but sometimes they got in the way. Later I found the gap on the hinge side of the door leaves just enough room for probe wires without getting pinched, and they're out of the way too.
