I thought I'd share my fridge thermometer. It is a Taylor 9940 that I bought on eBay for $15. It runs on 1 AAA battery and has a range of -40 to 300 degrees F. Accuracy is supposedly +/- 1.8 degree F. It's accurate in my house but apears to runs high in the vehicle--not sure why. As long as its consistent, I'm okay with it. The unit can be flush mounted, panel mounted or recessed panel mounted like I did. It has 10 foot cord for the for the probe. Also included are schematics for wiring up a temperature alarm (so you don't accidentally freeze your vegetables) but that is beyond my skill level.
Installation was just a matter of using a dremel cutting blade, file and lastly a small buffing wheel to smooth the edges.
Since buying this thermometer, I have found other "panel mount" thermometers that have the temp. alarm built in. However, some use the less common LR44 batteries and the cord are only 3 ft long.
