Dumb question for Assassin owners here:
Just how do I get the food probe (with that nice right angle bend in it) through the probe port? I definitely did not want to bend the probe. I fell back on my Maverick through the door to monitor the fattie.
Yes, those L-shaped probes won't fit thru the port. I did straighten one probe just enough to be able to slide it thru the port & the probe still works. I bent very slowly & carefully. You can always route the cable thru the door. The gasket will not pinch the cable. Just be careful not to let it get caught in the latches.
BTW nice smoker(other than the color ) I love my Assassin 17. Not sure if anyone mentioned to you, but I wrap my drip pan with foil before each cook. Makes clean up a lot easier.
