ooo, I like that. It would be perfect for my HLT so I don't have to bend down to see the temp. Where exactly did you order it?
Got it on Ebay

FYI, they're $85 new through a distributor. Guess I'll keep an eye on ebay.

Looks like there are several more on there that are similar only the auction says that they have 0-220F range dial on them for about the same price. Wish he had a better picture of the face though. All the one with that range he has listed have a big sticker on them. I just searched for "Tel-Tru"
Also, Control Company, the manufacturer, gave me a recommendation regarding a good one to use for brewing...and that would be one with a type "K" probe. Here's what she suggested. The unit itself isn't waterproof, but the probe is, and heatproof as well...within reason of course.
That looks like a good deal ($25.43), except if you want to buy an extra probe to go with it. The probe costs MORE than the entire device (which includes a probe for $25.98)?!! What's up with that?
Thermometers - Type-K Beaded Probe - Control Company Model 4028
Don't laugh at my temperature monitoring device choices, but I just picked up two of these
(with the stainless faces)
for less than $20...
Granted, they are by no means outstanding, and I have already killed two of them before, but the price was right and I just lost my last thermometer the other day...
Not sure what the heat shrink would do at high temps or what type of material it is made of, so I would go with BobbyM's great tutorial on waterproofing the probes... My problem was that I kept pulling the wire out of the probe... My patience at that point had waned quite a bit...
You can also dry it out in an oven... Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't...

I had two taylors yesterday. One was 10 degrees off. DAMMIT!!!
I agree. I found out that my Taylor probe was off about 6 degrees on my last brew.I threw mine out, after it wouldnt calibrate. It wouldnt let me set it to boiling water. IMO they are cheap and a POS.
Any idea where you can actually buy it for that price? The one like that I see on Amazon is $20.80 + 9.61 shipping.I use this with no issues
Amazon.com: CDN Proaccurate Stainless Digital Thermometer
Only $16, waterproof and stainless. It has auto off which saves on the battery as well.
I just ordered this unit waterproof
They were very helpful with the choice they even have live chat with a tech rep. We looked at several and she called the manufacturer to confirm that the probe was in fact waterproof all the way to where it plugs into the unit. For $25.43 I had to buy it. I will have thermometers coming out my butt soon. I also order a love controller while I was at it...shipping was 6 and change to my business address
Someone needs to get this economy rolling and I am doing my part dammit
Actually, I got the same one from Amazon for $13.69 back in October. Probably have to just keep checking back. It's a good thermometer. They claim it's dishwasher safe. I tested this when I dropped it into a pot of boiling wort. Scooped it out with a spoon. Still works perfect!Any idea where you can actually buy it for that price?
