You're going to have a hell of a time keeping the hole round with a dremel. If you don't have a drill press available, hand sand it with some coarse (80 grit or coarser) sandpaper, it'll take a while, but it's much easier to control. Another option is to drill it out with a drill press, clamps and a forstner bit; just have to be sure it's clamped down well and you have it perfectly centered before you start drilling. Easy way to do it is to start with a step drill bit, knock down the top lip to the size you want and drop the forstner bit into the recess at the top before you hog the rest out with the forstner.

Just drilled holes in the same kettle.

I used this step bit along with some 3 in 1 oil. It was a breeze! Nowhere near as hard as I had anticipated.

Start out drilling a small pilot hole. For the pilot hole I used a faster drill speed and a small amount of pressure. After that the step bit will easily get through the stainless steel. For the step bit, drill slowly, take breaks to add oil, and use a decent amount of pressure. Each rotation should be making progress, otherwise you are just heating and hardening the steel. Finish stepping up the correct size drilling from the inside of the kettle, this will deburr and flatten the hole.


Good luck!

I used a stepped drill bit designed for cutting through sheet metal to cut my NMO mount in the roof of my pickup. Like, one of these:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000FZ2UOY/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_9p94tb0NVTVVW

Way easier than trying to align a punch, and no bending of the edges, etc. Took about 10 seconds to line it up and step it out to the right size.

I'm planning on using this step bit. I have various hole saws, but I've been instructed to use this instead.

It's easy to do yourself. If you don't have drill, find a friend who does. Definitely don't pay someone to do it though. it will take 5 minutes. stepbit drill

For those interested, here's a pic of the inside.

Here's a list of my mods.

  • Grommet on the side for probe access: So handy! The most useful mod. I used this titanium drill bit to create a hole large enough. It took me about an hour of sweating my butt off with the drill to make the hole. I feel like this mod is a must because if you use any kind of probe this will be a lifesaver. Constantly closing and opening the lid of the smoker with the wire in the way will eventually damage the wire. With this grommet bypassing the door entirely, you don't risk damaging the wire anytime you open or close the lid. If your hand slips when opening the lid and the lid slams down, it can CUT the probe wire! Lifesaver indeed.
  • Lavalock Thermometers x2: I bought two of these for both sides. Tested them for accuracy with boiling water and they work pretty great.
  • Lavalock Gaskets: I used these to seal the lid of the main chamber. It helps create a seal for lower smoke leakage.
  • Clamps: These make 100% sure you are airtight when smoking. When used together with the gaskets, I get virtually no leakage from the main chamber. One annoying thing though is that the clamp installed on the side of the fire chamber can get in the way of you opening and closing the fire chamber lid. But, overall I'm happy with them, especially for longer cooks.
  • High Temp Silicone Caulk: This is a MUST. The areas around the smoke chamber leak smoke SO MUCH. I've used it to seal around every nook and cranny of the fire chamber and it's done wonders.
  • Water pan: Not sure if this counts as a mod, but it's just a simple steel water pan.
  • Oklahoma Joe Firebox Basket: The reverse flow smoker came included with this. I think the regular Highland Smoker does not have it. In my opinion, it is extremely helpful in maintaining heat throughout your cook and makes the temperature fluctuate less.

Check out the sight glasses at Brew Hardware. I've purchased many items from Bobby, and have had good experiences.

Assuming a weldless application, you'll need a step bit for your drill. The one linked worked great for me. When drilling, use oil to cool the bit and go SLOW or you'll harden the steel.

Bobby's install/calibration videos can be found here and here.

Good luck!

Haha sure thing, its a rather simple mod. All you need is a through hole fitting.

Basically, it allows you to create a pass through on the case where you can screw any type of G1/4 threaded fitting into it. For the plug, you can use any type of G1/4 stop fitting.

The best way to drill the hole is to use what is called a step bit. So you drill a pilot hole with a standard 1/4" bit, and then you use this step bit to step up the size of the hole. If you are only going to be doing it for this build, I would recommend getting the link I provided as most of these bits go for $55 at your local hardware store.

All in all it's easy-peasy. Just be sure you know for sure where you want the port to be before you drill ;).

I highly suggest picking up a step drill bit for making holes in cabinets. Makes a cleaner hole then a hole saw and easier too,

*A hole that would take me 10 min of frustration with a hole saw is basically as easy as drilling a normal hole with a step drill bit.

Here's a picture of a hole I drilled with that same bit at work. The top "hole" was done by whoever did the installs here. The bottom hole was with that drill bit I linked.

Depending on how big a hole you are making, it might be easier to do it yourself. If you have a decent drill (preferably corded by a nice cordless one will also work), you can get a step drill bit and some cutting oil. You do not need a punch unless you are doing a ton of holes or are doing something very large.

  • I recommend 8 to 10 gallons. You will need plenty of space to prevent boilovers.
  • Like skunk says, maybe get one with no fittings and start with BIAB? I know you don't have the tools now, but you really only need a step bit for your drill. It's super easy if you get weldless fittings from brewhardware.com.
  • I would def recommend a dip tube. They aren't expensive if you already have a ball valve, too.

    I'll agree with skunk in that I think the sanitary fittings was a bit overblown. I use threaded fittings on everything and have never had a problem. I take them apart about every 5 batches or so to clean them more thoroughly, but they stay pretty clean.
u/TheDarkHorse83 · 1 pointr/Homebrewing

I picked up a WinWare aluminum boiling pot for $40 last year, drilled a hole in it (I think that the bit was $20) and installed a $20 valve. Since purchasing it, I've used the bit for two valves, a thermometer, and two sightglass installs.

Edit: The pot

The Bit

The valve

Holiday Deal Valve Alternative

You might be able to find better deals on Cyber Monday, though.


All you need is a drill gun and dish soap (the soap is a nice lubricant so you don't wear the bit down quickly)

Not the best picture, but posting here if anyone is interested.

Here is my setup:
Fogs: H16 XTREME LED PRO FOG LIGHT BULB - YELLOW

Low: H11 HID KIT | XTREME HID | Philips 4300K

Hi: 9005 XTREME LED PRO HEADLIGHT KIT | WITH DRL LED OPTION

Install was pretty easy. The most involved one was the Low beam HID because you need to drill a one inch hole into your dust caps to feed the light and wire through. To do this, I would recommend a stepped drill bit like this one because then you can make the hole slightly smaller than one inch to get a tighter seal. I also used some silicon to really make sure it was sealed to keep moisture out.


If anyone decides they want to do a similar swap and you have questions about the install, just reply here or shoot me a PM.

Now that I’m home and have a minute to type, here’s how I made it:

-I used a step drill bit to cut two 3/4” holes in the mason jar lid. I kept the lid on the jar while drilling, held the jar with one hand and the drill with the other and it worked just fine (I marked the holes with a sharpie before drilling)

-I put in one hookah hose grommet and one “downstem grommet” (I get these from my local ace hardware. You just ask for a rubber grommet with an inner diameter of 1/2”, an outer diameter of 31/32”, and a 3/4” groove, I think the stock number is 55059) in the holes I drilled

-downstem time. I get them from a local smokeshop and I use just regular ol’ glass on glass downstems that work with a 14mm bowl. Before you fit it into the grommet, lube them both up with whatever cooking oil you have on hand (I use coconut oil). Getting the downstem in is the trickiest and scariest part to me but it goes relatively easy if you coat it in oil first

-all set, just put in a 14mm bowl in the downstem and a regular hookah hose in the hookah grommet and you’re good to go

I did something similar a few months ago, but I used a drill press. They're kind of expensive so I'd ask around for one you can use. You need a step drill bit. Just mark out where you want your holes to be and make sure the cymbal is clamped down nice and tight, then drill away.

u/zmartini · 1 pointr/Homebrewing

FWIW, I love my Tall Boy kettle, but I did have to invest in a step bit, a bit of cutting oil, and a bulkhead, ball valve, and thermometer and install them myself. Rough total ~$200 and some elbow grease. I also added a whirlpool return and etched some volume markings with this little guy. But I'm a big DIY-er. (and sorry for all the links)

u/Garycsims · 1 pointr/StreetFighter

Depends on the material the face plate is made of. If it's metal get a step bit, a decent drill and a drill guide

https://www.amazon.com/Neiko-10194A-Titanium-Drill-Speed/dp/B000FZ2UOY

those should work.

If it's plastic I'd get some forsner bits depending on what size buttons you want
