have done the eyelet mod for food and temp probes, pottery plate as a heat sink in the water bowl, and have the door and lid seal kit but have not installed it as of yet.
where did you get these?

Have you replaced the door w/ the staineless steel doors?

The BBQ Guru Eyelet is installed on my WSM and the grommet mod is installed on my Smoky Joe Mini Project. Had I known about the grommet mod before the eyelet mod, I would have opted for that one, instead. It offers more space for probes to fit through.
The pottery plate is a 14" or 12" terra cotta plate, wrapped in foil and set in the top of the water bowl. It creates a heat sink similar to what water would do, only it doesn't eat up your fuel like water will. It is the clay plate that would go under a clay pot (terra cotta color).
The door and lid seals can be fouond here WSM Gaskets. I have not opted for the staineless steel doors as mine just works fine with little temperature flucuations and smoke leak. I'll get to the seals soon, and will report back.
