I was looking to add a probe port to my CB Roti ring and found these and thought I'd give them a shot.

They worked better than expected. Small enough to fit in the unused motor hole and large enough that a Meater Probe large end or a Thermoworks Pro Series probe will fit through. The stoppers should work well to plug the hole when not in use. It was pretty easy to poke a hole through a couple stoppers to slide onto the Thermoworks pit probe and the thicker Meater probe, four mounting a probe in the grommet.
This could be installed in any piece of sheet metal or grill/smoker.
I also put one in a Ball jar lid that we will use for monitoring the milk temp of yogurt we make.
Simple and inexpensive.

pretty cool, you think they will hold up to heat ?
I think so. I think most silicone is good up to around 500F, which is higher than I usually tend to cook at, especially with my roti.
Good point though, might not want this near your coals or in a searing rig.
Depending on the age and quality of the silicone, it will start to melt at 350-400F. You should be okay, best to just suck it and see.
I only really manage to melt silicon when I'm welding on the same piece of metal quite close to the silicone.
