Sounds like somebody spent a lot of time to build a poorly designed smoker. Worst part was the owner supplied the tank and trailer,and the guy still charged him 2 Grand to build it, when it didn't cook the guy just kept telling him he wasen't making big enough fires. 2 years of frustration later we...

I'm using a 1/2 inch pipe thread coupler with a short piece of 1/2 inch pipe,so the tube the gauge is threaded into that the probe sticks through is welded and sealed to both the outer and inner skins of the door.
