So, having just got the Auber, with the clip on box probe, I wasn't excited about spending more money right off the bat for the nylon mounted permanent probe. Especially when the main advantage seems to be that it's always in the same place.
Honestly I like being able to remove the probe from the box for cleaning, and don't enjoy the idea of drilling holes in the smoker.
So... Enter the split bolt. Mounted to the top rack, it'll make sure that the probe is in the same location each time, and that the probe doesn't spin on the rack while smoking.
You can see in the second picture that it's a tight enough hold that I can pick up the rack from the probe cord.
