dogbowl oven modification: vent and thermometer holes
{forgot to publish this the other day}
I picked up the BBQ temp probes mentioned here.
If I lived in bigger quarters the optimal mounting spot IMO would be permanent screwed-down spot in the side edge near the top of the upper bowl (bottom of bowl), but that would prevent nested storage or require disassembly each time:
approximated; can’t show the position without drilling the hole for the probe
I’d place the lid on bottom and stack the other bits in the oven lower.
A more practical spot for my tight storage situation will be “dropped into place using a hole drilled in the top” method:
CSI-level mockup
Benefits:
- stackability mainatined
- no disassembly; just remove probe
- top holes can be covered with pennies if desired; side holes cannot (due to gravity)
So that’s what I did. I used a punch to make dent to keep the bit[s] from wandering. I made a small steam vent and a larger hole to allow the thermometer’s threaded body to pass:
Actual testing will follow in a few days. It’s mid-80s in Farmington (don’t get me started) and too hot for meaningful cooking indoors.
