Some DIY later, 47mm weber with a smoke thermometer !

Can't take credit for it though, a friend helped who has all the tools that I don't have.

How did you do it?
Is it literally just drill a hole, or have you secured it somehow?

Also woooooooddddd oh man, that's a good haul.

He put masking tape over the area, marked it with a pencil after measuring it so its centred to the handle etc for symmetry.

Started with a small drill bit to make a hole, then a bigger one and then finally a weird cone shape drill bits to smooth off the edges.

He then put a washer underneath, then tighten with a fly nut that it came with.

I got it from amazon, was like £5? It says the origin is holland or something.

It turned out very neat

Besides, this barely made it through the door in my shed lol

I live in Herefordshire, where they grow apples and make cider (Bulmers factory is 1 mile from my house) so the soil is fertile

It works!
