I agree with Mr Buckie ...
My motto is: "If she's so purddy that she don't need no surgery, then save the money and buy her a nice .......".
With a Slide_A_whatever cover holder and a 6ft long Maverick probe wire you could go through the top vent and easily work around the "probe-wire through the lid -- cover off" problem. In fact, you could hang your Maverick right on the Utility rack and maybe the standard 3ft wire would do???
