Oklahoma Joe's 4866405R06 Smoker Grommet Kit, Gold/Black

Needed a tool to bore a hole for My Probes. Worked Great.

i used a 1/4 inch cobalt drill bit to start the whole. then i placed a strong magnet next to the stepped bit. it will pick up all the shavings while drilling. i carefully drilled up to a slightly smaller hole then carefully drilled one step at a time. then test fitting it. carefully continued until the fit was tight. i also applied a small amount of black rtv into the groove just to bond it to the metal. then just worked the grommet into the hole and wiped off the excess. before installing the grommet put the step bit into the hole and mark the next larger step with a marker as an indicator when to stop. it makes it easier if you are drilling a second hole.

2 minutes to install... not a joke.I think the bit was worth more than the grommets themselves. Which begs the question. Why aren't these in from the factory? My old Smokie Mountain had one from the factory. But I've been running thermometer cables under the lid for the last 3 years on this thing and tearing them up.Problem SOLVED.*** Update *** Installed a 2nd set on my new OK Joe's Hitch grill. Once again simple install, perfect results.Can I give more than 5 stars?

Nice product

This one worked well for putting silicone grommets in our smoker to run temperature probe wires through.

Works great

This was a great upgrade to my smoker. Made it easier for my temperature probes to be used without damaging them. The only issue was there wasn’t a hole size associated to determine when to stop, ensuring the grommets will fit. I used man instinct to stop at the right drilling point.

This is the third one I've got, the first showed up missing the actual product. The second was all the and the third but product packaging was open. The drill bit works and the grommets well. Good product, bad packaging. And Amazon did refund me for the missing items.
