Looking for this part.

Post by DaveZ »

It's the little cover that blocks the probe hole on a GMG when the probe is not in use. I want to drill a couple more holes in my grill but would like to put these covers over them when they are not being used. They don't need to be identical to this one, I just want to now what this part would be called and where I would get them from.

Hiya Dave, No idea where to find them but what about finding a magnet the right size using that? Could paint it too if you wanted.

Cheers, Wayne

Looks like it would be easy to make with a small offcut of stainless. Drill, cut and bend a lip on it. Worth a go before spending what no doubt will be a 400% mark up..

Just grab a magnet off your fridge! Or wait for your local real estate agent to send you another fridge magnet calendar in the mail... :roll:

Thanks guys, I like the magnet idea, a few good magnets will work a treat I think. I've drilled 4 x 6mm holes, 2 in each end, which I can run some 6mm rod through when I need to have a second rack or in this case, use it as a jerky rack.

I did that with my Aldi/Hark vertical smoker, and after a while on low heat, they curl up & go hard.
I now use the ferrite block magnets - much more capable of surviving the heat.


I was thinking of a way do do additional racks in the GMG DC without having to stack them (and have them teetering). I'd almost convinced myself to pop-rivet some angle brackets inside the chamber, but now I've seen those rods, it's probably a better idea.
