Anyone got a good source for 1/4" NPT thermometers that display up to 200+ degrees fahrenheit besides paying the prices the maple dealers want?

Hey Brandon are you looking for a drawoff thermo, the ones that read 0 as boiling point or a full scale kind?

Jim Schumacher on here is having some made up under his company name Smokey Lake Maple.

The last time we purchased a few, Weksler was the cheapest I could find. They were around $35.00 ea. You can buy factory direct here: http://www.weksler-gauges.com/thermometers/bimetal_thermometers.htm

I've gotten a couple of 0-250 degree off eBay for $25 and $35 (3" and 5" dials respectively). Both were new and in their original boxes - one less way to not worry about what they have been used in. Search "dial thermomter" on eBay.

I was fortunate in that Santa left me 2 5" Faced Leader Dial Thermometers under the tree this year!

1/2" NPT is easy to find, I need 1/4" NPT
