I mounted the thermocouple with a 1/4" stainless nut, taking care to hold the
thermocouple in place as I tightened the nut to NOT bend or tear the smoke box material.


I buttoned everything back up, taking care to get the leads through the drilled
hole. If my thermocouple leads were not shielded, I would use a grommet or other
type of protection on the edges of the rear cover to not nick or wear on the wires.
