Default What remote thermometer do you recommend?

Rather than rely on the themometer in the front of the hood of my Grand
Turbo, I'd like to use a remote thermometer. The hood on the GT doesn't have
a window so I can't use the cheap gauge of stick variety.
I need an SI scale since I'm in Australia and only understand the
temperature measured in Kelvin or Celsius.

So you want a thermometer that tells you that water boils at 373.15° K?

Taylor and Polder make good units that read in Celsius and Fahrenheit. The
Polder is circa $20 and the Taylor is circa $17 here.

Oops, it appears they've gone up since I bought one;

Look for the Maverick ET73 on eBay.....

It's a good unit with two probes - one for the food and one for the chamber
temp. It has low and high alarms, timers and can run in C or F as you wish.

The only downside is a rather quirky design where you have to open the
battery cover on the remote unit to switch it on, however it only take a few
seconds.

You'll probably have to ship it from the US as I've not seen them anywhere
else....(I shipped a case of them to the UK and gave/sold the spares to my
friends)
