I love my grommets! Consider the zinc to be my secret ingredient ;)

I just purchased a new WSM 22.5 and want some probe ports. I'll probably go with those especially since now the secret is out. (Zinc infusion)

This is the grommet mod I did to my WSM.

Just don't put two in.

Both probes fit through one eyelet.

I'm currently working on some thermometer holders and probe access tubes and those collars come in a variety of materials... from nylon to alumimum, to zinc plated steel, and also stainless. In the 1/4 and 3/8 sizes, they are about $1.25 each in steel, and $3.25 in stainless... so, if you are nervous you can move to stainless. .

Thanks for the info!
