I'm building my new drum with the ball valve this time, might even buy a digital thermometer on this one. I don't have a kettle lid that fits do I'm just using the drum lid for now.

I've seen all type of different patterns for lids, what the best way for an exhaust hole? My step bits only go to 1 3/8" I can have someone cut the hole bigger at work for me if needed.. Or should I go with multiple holes up top?
