Looks like I made my mistake in ordering my kettle as I didn't switch out the thermowell where a dial thermometer with a 1/4" stem fits for a TC fitting. So now I need a plan for an RTD. I really like the Auber setups with deluxe cable as I want to be able to disconnect easily at the kettle. however they don't seem to make one with a 1/4" probe and 1/2" npt connector. Aubers customer service suggested I pack the thermowell with thermal grease but that seems like it would turn into an insulating compound used that way. I thought about turning the thermowell into an RTD probe but can't find 3 lead RTDs so don't know how I would accomplish that unless I'm missing something in how those are wired. My other thought is to get a prebuilt probe in the correct diameter casing and cut the wires to tie into an auber style quick release.
Any thoughts on how to proceed would be helpful.
