can you get probe covers for this? I would be using it in our physician's office.

Not sure, but the tip is pretty short. They would need to be custom covers, I would imagine.

The display can not go outside. I believe the probe might be okay outside if protected from the elements, though I am sure its life would be shortened.

Unfortunately I have not found any covers other than the basic flip cover. We have just emphasized kids have to sit to play or they lose the privilege of playing with it!!

You can definitely set your temps/alerts to "custom" settings, but be warned, you are looking at an addition $15 expense every three months or so to replace the P.O.S. probes...

The probe appears to be sealed in rubber. To be sure it waterproof I would encapsulate it in silicone.

I really don't know where you can get covers. I sew so I made the ones to fit my pillow. Sorry

Felt - it's a neat idea - I'm sure if one were creative, you can make your own - not so fancy - pot protectors for a couple of $!! ) or maybe you can make it fancy!! )

Yes. The probes are removable and can be replaced by longer ones found at any pet store.

That may be a question for Oregon Scientific. The probe is designed to withstand heat. Boiling oil sounds extreme. Maybe a timer (which it has) and a little trial and error would work.

Mine has covers and works good. I've used it sitting at a table or on my lap.

Between poor and great-- gook/ok/slightly above average. However, your question shows a deep knowledge at one of the major Achilles heels of these systems, and REALLY good probes (as in best of breed) could easily add several hundred dollars and more. In the end it depends on your needs, as in components and wires vs. detailed circuit components. For most applications, the included probes are fine.

It will tolerate the temperature, but the probe is rather short for your purposes... I would be afraid of burning myself if used that way... maybe if you used a heat-proof glove at the same time?

Unfortunately, there is no cover available. You could probably make one easily enough. More information at mypatiofirepits.com.

Ipurchased my unit used and it came with probes but no case. A new unit may include a case too.

That is what I purchased mine for. I drilled a small hole in the floor of one if my closets to drop the probe thru and placed it where its easy to open the door and get a reading. Works great.
