Hi guys,
Bought a secondhand homemade reflux still with keg still. Due to privacy issues operating it outdoors (and nervousness around a naked flame), I want to operate it indoors on my electric stove elements. However, this would make reading the temperature from the top of the column difficult at is just about reaches my ceiling when assembled and sitting on my stove (in fact I have a glass thermometer that came with it, and has to be pushed well into the column in order to fit under the ceiling - I can only just read it for the 70degC range).
Would anyone see any issues if I used this probe:

Otherwise, does anyone know of similar/better alternatives that are wallet-friendly?
Cheers :)
