    What's the best stand-alone thermostat to put into a refrigerator? I'm buying a fridge soon and would like to pick up something to better monitor the temperature to age my beer. Maybe something at a couple different price points. Thanks in advance!

    Look into wireless grilling thermometers. They aren't a long term solution, but the fridge should hold a stable temp, and then you don't even have to open the door to check the temp.

    I let mine sit in the fridge for a few days and never saw the temp fluctuate more than 4 degrees.

    Cost $40 and then you can grill some hog too.

    Are you looking for a thermometer to monitor temps or a thermostat to control temps?

    My bad - I used the wrong word. I'm looking for a thermometer.

    Look at Thomas traceable thermometers. They make lab grade thermometers, and it will be much cheaper than the fluke thermometer.
