yea the a99 is what i need, there are like 8 different ones for length and typer of insulation. i have been searching google and ebay with no success. i did find it for 21.54 from havproducts.com, and i talked to mike at mgreptiles and he has one for 15 and 6 shipping. i was hoping it would be cheaper but i will order one.

i was just wondering if there was an alternative probe i can use, like the acurite probe? i have an old probe thermometer i'll give it a try this weekend.

thanks for the help.
