Here the pictures of the burn pot.
I'm considering making this mod, so any drawbacks yet, or is this still working better than you expected?
Thank you for your contributions,

No drawbacks, none. To date since the mod I have burned 22 bags of assorted pellet brands including:
2 bags lignetics (blue label), 2 bags Maine Woods, 2 bags NEWP, 10 bags Clean Energy (Lowes pellet),
4 bags Greene Team, 2 bags Barefoots. No in between cleaning, this was not pellet testing.
I have seen no negative effects during ignition (auto/off), or constant burning (hi/lo). I used to have to remove the pot and scrape it mid-week,
now I only do my weekly cleaning. Could probably go longer than a week now.
I drilled from the outside of the pot to inside, set a pilot/dimple with a punch so the bit doesn't wander.
The hole I drilled probably ended slightly over 1/8 inch, bit had a little wobble in it.
Also the way I looked at it if I screwed things up I could buy a new pot for $60+/-. I have pissed away that kind of
money on crazier projects.
