I actually had an appointment with John one day when I was in the Bay area and let's just say much to my "disappointment" when I arrived at his shop nobody was there.. or answered any of the phone numbers I had.. I'll forgive him and get one so I can be Stoker aware.. But As of now, I have no clue how my customers are using them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdbower Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 For the Stoker, I think something like this would work, but I'm not sure if it would be a tight enough fit (I would imagine this fits the bulkhead adapter for the Guru which I believe is just a tad smaller than the port on the KK). I'll hopefully be playing with my stoker this weekend. In the mean time, if you leave it attached (even if it's not in use) the fan's automatic door should stifle the vast majority of the incoming airflow.

trudeto Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 The only problem i have is that my KK is in the elements, and the fan wouldnt like rain and snow! I am thinking about turning a wooden plug, as i don't often use my KK at really high temps. that, or a trip to the hardware store to see what might be available, or adaptable. i am thinking along the lines of a cover plate or something like what is used when you have a kitchen sink with an unused hole for a sprayer nozzle or something like that. i haven't checked diameter of those holes, or their plugs yet, but it might be a good leisure activity in the next few days.

jdbower Posted December 26, 2008 Report Share Posted December 26, 2008 If you put a plastic bag and rubber band around the blower that should help (and you only really need it on when you're cooking and shutting down). You can also look into a second 1 3/8" Round Port Adapter from Rock's BBQ and fill the inside with high temp silicone sealant - essentially make a "null" fan adapter. Either way, a nice addition to the KK silicone plugs would be one that just fits the power draft port. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom[/quote'] There is a thread somewhere around here that has a link for purchasing silicone plugs for lab supplies. Should be easy to find something tapered or slightly larger to fill the port. Or it is very easy to make your own provided you use castable silicone. -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trudeto Posted December 29, 2008 Report Share Posted December 29, 2008 Thanks all for the suggestions. Right now i have a basic cork to stop close off the inducer hole after a cook to put out the fire. That seems to work just fine for now. Am keeping my eyes open for a more permanent, and heat worthy solution. I will check lab supply places online to see what that might turn up.

ThreeDJ16 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Stumbled across this site while looking for a hole cover for another project and thought some of you Stoker folks might be interested. http://www.widgetco.com/rubber-stoppers -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conodo12 Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Would these work as a polder plug? Any idea as to the heat tolerance of the rubber used? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opps, did not look very close....just assumed for lab supplies it was silicone rubber...but they are not. EDPM rubber is around 250F were silicone is 500-600. So I withdraw the recommend. -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mguerra Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 high temp silicone plugs OK boys and girls, I have found a source for high temp silicone plugs for the thermometer wire hole and the fan port on our KK's. I'm not sure how to slot the plug for the thermometer wires, but I'll figure it out. Minimum order is $50.00. At lunch I will go home and measure the exact diameter of these holes, order some and you can buy them from me. More details after lunch...

I'll save you some trouble since I keep forgetting to mention that I've already got a ton, but I'll start a new thread so the information isn't lost here.
