Temperature Gauge

[paul6057]

Hi all -

I recently set up a Weber kettle which I plan to use, in large part, for rotisserie cooking. Having built it, it because apparently that the barbecue I had been gifted does not have a temperature gauge in the lid. This is a pretty useful thing for rotisserie cooking, so I'm thinking of adding one, so have a couple of questions:

 

1) How easy is this to do?

2) Do I need a special kind of drill to not chip or crack the coating?

3) Any recommendations for a reliable thermometer to install?

 

Thanks,

Paul

I bought a really cheap one off eBay for my 47cm Weber kettle. Used a metal drill bit, nothing special, worked a charm.
