Bruce B said:[quote="Nick Prochilo":3l34nvc0]If you stick a 1/4" probe in a 1" hole are you blocking 1/3 of your exhaust of 3 holes?

You're blocking 25% of one 1" hole and 1/4" of 3 1" holes which total 3" so...
you're blocking about 8.33% of your total of 3 inches of exit hole. Hopefully, that will clear things up for you Nick.

How'd you start the hole without (a) centerpunching and chipping more enamel than intended, or (b) skating and skitching all over the lid with a runaway drill?Bill The Grill Guy said:okay, I settled it. drilled a hole and stuck a therm in it. Now its done.

Bruce's thoughts are right, but his math is wrong.
A 1" dia hole has an area of 506.70748 sqmm
3x that is 1520.12244 sqmm
a 1/4" dia probe has a cross sectional area of 82.16991
divide 82.16991 by 1520.12244 to get 0.054054797059636853989208921881319
multiply 0.054054797059636853989208921881319 by 100
and the answer is that a 1/4" dia probe blocks 5.4% of the opening created by the three 1" dia holes.
Anybody need anything else? :roll:
