I have bee fond of drilling out chrome plated brass automotive valve stems. That said, while it is easy if you have a valve tool and a drill press, there might be simpler solutions. Honestly you can probably do it without one of those tools, just not without both. It is a lot easier to drill out with the valve removed (so you might be able to pull it off with a hand drill). Drilling through the valve (did that a couple times when I did not feel like digging for my valve tool) is not much fun.

My question wasn't clear when I went back and read it but I was talking about the probe with the flexible cable for the meat temperature. |

I used high temp silicone grommets from Grainger. One size for the probe to slide into snugly for pit temp, and a slightly larger size for the probe to be able to reach the meat. Note the machine screw heads just above the top and bottom grommets. Those are the grate levels. The larger one in the middle is for the probes to get to the meat on either or both of grates. You can plug the holes that aren't being used with a nail.

I finally got around to painting my UDS. I went with gloss white for the water heater / washing machine look. (Here's the link to my original post of my UDS if interested - http://www.bbq-brethren.com/forum/sh...d.php?t=160537)
