I'm looking for recomendations on a good thermometer with attached remote probe, as well as a good source to buy one.

Thanks in advance

Walmart... $12. Works great. I got 5 of 'em. Shows both "indoor" and "outdoor" temps on one screen.

I got mine at RadioShack, and it measures humidity too.

you can get ones that measure humidity at walmart for like $14, but those cheapo hydrometers aren't accurate at all... /- 15% i believe.

trade places between the probe and the main unit.

......i wanted to use this set up in an incubator,having the base unit inside would defeat the purpose of what i'm trying to accomplish.

I can't believe no one has posted the Dual Probe thermometer and hygrometer units that Big Apple sells. I have several of them on my various incubators. As far as I have seen they are the only company on the internet that has an affordable humidity gauge that actually works using a probe. The unit has both temperature and humidity and has a separate probe for each with min/max memory. For $34.95 you can't beat it. I just put the probes inside my incubator and whenever I walk by I can see what is happening in the incubator.

They also have a dual probe thermometer unit too.
