I know I can drill out a spot and weld a pipe nipple fitting in order to mount my thermometers but I want to be able to use a maverick without the thing leaking smoke everywhere.... OR, would that even matter?
Inquiring minds need to know. :)

Blue,
I just drill holes and feed my probe wires through them! I drill the hole just big enough to get two probes in the same hole, by the that time there isn't much space left for smoke/hot air to get out.
By the way, that fundraiser trailer looks mighty nice! Maybe the kids should build another one to put your cooker on and donate it to you for being such a swell teacher!
