Has anyone done it? Thoughts on if its a good idea or not?
Obviously I would have to drill open the lid and the lid vent. I was thinking of 2 nuts jammed together to set the tension so the lid vent and temp gauge can "float/freely move" together.
I figure you usually want the vent over your food anyways right? But its always on the opp side which is just directly over the coals.
potential cons is maybe the temp gauge blocks air flow since it would be right over top the 4 holes. I gotta measure that. The temp gauge is 1 3/4" dia.
other con is maybe smoke will discolour the temp gauge lens quickly... this is my main worry i think. But I would imagine that can easily be cleaned.
I want to try this. I have tried using the search function with no luck. Have googled it too nothin.
