I would agree with wrapping it. Insulated welding blankets work really well

If you have 1-inch pvc lying around I would send it and report back. But if money is a concern, the shop I work for sells a 12-inch test tube for 6.99, and it has a screw on-base and is made of food-safe plastic so it's easier to store and clean and you can't break the jimmy jawn. I'm not going...

PVC idea is really smart, some 1” piping will do the job. You could get a 1inch table flange for 3$ if you are worried about melting the pvc, but once the pvc cools I can’t possibly see it affecting readings Keep in mind you won’t be able to see through the pvc though so every-time you take a...
