I should have added, use the thermal paste and if you can get it, use foil tape as well.

Now to stir the pot a bit, anybody find something similar to the maverick wireless model sans the wireless?

Cheapest way I've found so far would be using something like this, but I really don't need the wireless part. I was planning on using two of these units to monitor the flat plate heat exchanger temps between the shop boiler and the OWB. I wouldn't think two wireless units would interfere with one another?

My guess is that two of the same brand wireless units probably would interfere with each other. A not so funny/funny story about wireless interference, a friend had a remote starter on his manual shift Bronco, he would leave the Bronco in neutral during the winter so that he could use it.  One day,while in my buddy's driveway, his brother activated an aftermarket car alarm made by the same company .  The alarm signal activated the remote starter on my buddy's  Bronco and because it was summer the Bronco was in gear, it jumped forward, straight off a 6 foot high retaining wall and landed in a pontoon boat my buddy had just finished restoring.  I thought it was funny, my buddy didn't.

If you don't need the wireless option for the second location you can pick up a wired digital meat probe for $5 at walmart, I have one I use for my smoker.
