Fitting temp Dial to a pot

[poolking]

Hi everyone, Wanting to fit a 2.5" or 3" temp Dial to my 40ltr Buffalo boiler. Have had a good luck on ebay and can only see them advertised in US / Hong kong. Anyone know where I can buy one from (UK only). Also any suggestions on size / make etc.......
Watched a few vids and they look easy enough to fit. All advice appreciated, Thanks.

I bought mashmaster one from Aus. About £27 delivered I think. http://mashmaster.mobile034.com/c/14570 ... eters.html. I used a 12.7mm Q-max for the hole

Or Angel Homebrew, but why do you want to fit one? Presumably not for boiling, so for mash and sparge water temps. I find the thermostat accurate enough. I raise mash water temperature way above that required, then empty into the MT and allow to cool to strike temperature. That way the MT is warmed up too.

I find it great when cooling. Hit 80c and turn the cooler off for the hops to steep

Hi all, thanks for the reply`s. Will be looking at these in more detail, but having took on board what Dave s said, I`m beginning to wonder if I really need one. Been using digital thermometer with probe through lid with good results. Just thought it would make things a bit easier Having Dial fitted (no messing dangling probe in). Sorry forgot to mention I`m a BIAB Brewer, so am also wondering if bag would snag Dial probe. Anyway, thanks again, appreciated.
