While browsing around for some new remote thermos I started reading about the Maverick ET-73 Smoker Thermometer on Amazon.com and checking out the reviews on it. Most complaints were the same as for other thermos: the range is less than it should be. One guy that replied with a review also posted a way that he found to double or even triple the range of this thermo and he said that there's no reason it shouldn't work on other brands.
All you need is 2.5 feet of 22 gauge copper or steel wire and for tools:
Soldering Iron (along with flux and solder)
Sandpaper or some type of file (an emery board would even work)
Wire cutters
Drill (or Dremel Moto type tool) and small drill bit (1/16")
Very small (jewelers sized) Philips screwdriver
That and you need steady hands and know how to solder (I can't solder to save my soul).
Here's a link to see how it's done:
