I bought a 5cf Holiday chest freezer w/ the intent of turning it into a fermentation chamber since it's about to be hot in Texas. I was planning on running my temp probe in through the drain hole and then sealing it up w/ silicone. I just got the Ranco in the mail though and discovered the temp probe can't easily be disconnected to fish through the drain (soldered direct to the board). Do I:
1. Run it through the lid and attempt to get something to seal up the small air gap created by the lid seal not sitting flush (like some weather stripping or something).
2. Attempt to drill a hole through the compressor hump where there appears to be no cooling lines (I think) and then seal up w/ silicone.
Thoughts?
