I have a new Big Green Egg which I will use for my Thanksgiving turkey. I also have a remote thermometer that I'll use. Where to people route the temperature probes for BGS's or similar cookers? I was planning to just string the wire between the base and lid, then I saw a video where someone strung the probe through the top vent. What is everyone's preference and experience?
Thanks.
 
same deal here - thru base/dome on the felt.

I used to run it through the top daisy wheel, but even a 6' probe, it would barely fit, would have to get a high side table to place the thermometer on to create some slack, etc

So now I just go under lid/on top of base, no worries.

If you are using a platesetter - run the probe wire over the "leg" and out the smoker so to speak - helps shield the wire probe from direct heat.
 
Just run mine between the lid and base too. Never had a problem.
 
When I used one I went between the Dome and Base. I also wrapped the wires over the coals in Aluminum foil to protect them.
