I insert my current Anova into a hole I cut (and it fits perfectly) in the top of a cooler. Does the new Nano’s attachment area jut out the back of it, and is that entire attachment method removable? I think I saw it is 41mm diameter–but it won’t slip through a 41mm diameter hole from the top, will it? Conversely, how big a hole would it need to be to slide the Nano from the bottom of the cover? ---

It is permanent. ---

Just like what @csx4780 said - it’s fixed. ---

That is so sad. Why must it be? ---

Agree. Perhaps Anova needs to look at that before shipping. I can already see an issue in regard to only being able to use pots and containers of a certain height or depth. Give one to my car fabrication buddies and I’ll get they can solve that problem within an hour. ---

Heh…if they fab up a clamp that is as good as the APC one, your buddies might have a new side business (just publish a video showing people how to cut off the existing one, then bore and tap the appropriate hole for the bolt for their replacement, removable clamp) 🙂 Guessing marketing/product did this to ensure the Nano doesn’t scavenge sales away from their higher end products.
