Picked up a hardly used WSM today for $100. The only problem is no temp gauge. Where should I mount one or should I mount two?

Congrats on the score
I have run the probe (depending on probe diameter & material) right through the lid/mid section. I used Thermoworks thermos with braided SS probes.... Rich speaks from years of experience & his technique will not have any affect on air intake IMO, plus he's a rib championsigpic

Seems the air intaked are about in the middle of my basket. Would be more efficient nearer the bottom I figger.In God I trust- All others pay cash...Check out the Mad Hunky and products at https://madhunkymeats.com or https://www.facebook.com/MadHunkyMeats

I would think that you could test it out by using some small blocks to raise it to where you think it should be, before drilling the holes. 3 or 4 small blocks should not interfere with the air flow. Hell, maybe just use blocks & don't drill holes if it works. Food for thought.MES 30"
