{Found it}Where to purchase rubber grommet for WSM

[sportsnut]

I have an older {5years old} 22" WSM without the rubber grommet for temperature probes and wires to pass through. My new 14" WSM has them already installed from the factory.

I called Weber to see about purchasing just the grommet but they said it would void my warranty if I drilled the hole to install the grommet. They would sell me the new center section with grommet installed for $160
I guess I could have just told them I wanted a replacement for the one in the new 14" WSM but i was honest and told them my true intentions...

Does anyone know of a place to purchase the grommet besides directly from Weber ?

TIA

Ron

I'd suggest pushing the bad one out and visiting the local hardware store to replace the grommet. When I was building my mini I simply drilled a hole and put the properly sized grommet in the hole. Probe slides right through along with the wire. Hope this is what you're looking for.

I found these on Ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/BBQ-SMOKER-...d=100011&prg=8532&rk=2&rkt=10&sd=191020890151

I think I will go with these.

The unit doesn't have one installed. I'll just drill a couple holes and install the grommets from the Ebay link I posted above.
