Try a restaurant supply store, though you may need to go to a
medium-large city. Many will sell to the public and have really
good prices.
I have a UEI instant-read thermometer which runs from 0 F. to
220 F. and is NSF (Nat'l Sanitation Foundation) approved. If I
recall, it was $5 at Peerless Restaurant Supply in St. Louis and
its worked like a charm for 5 or 6 years now.
You can get them at gourmet kitchen supply stores, but expect
them to be much more expensive.
