Too many holes in kegs

[TsunamiBeer]

So the guy I bought some used keggles from thought he was gonna do some special magic with them and drilled an extra hole about halfway up the side of the keggles. I am gonna use them direct fired and need to seal these holes. Is there a way to do it without paying an arm and leg to the local welding place to weld them shut. Thought about JB Weld Steel Stik putty. Says its food and water safe. Thoughts?

weldless bulkhead and a stainless pipe plug/cap.

at some point you'll be glad the special magic hole is there.

1/2" NPT plug, silicone gasket and locknut.

You could silver solder it or braise it

Tell me more about these magic holes in the sides. Maybe I can unlock the magic and save a step.

temp probes, recirculating, a high thermometer, all sorts of things.
