Digital Thermo Idea

Has anyone used meat thermometers as ambient air gauges?  You can get those relatively cheap.  I was thinking about installing 4 holes on my smoker and simply slide them in and turn them on.  A lot of a lit background so you can see all your temps in the grill at night.

Thoughts?

sounds like it would work!

They are super cheap too.  Usually cheaper than a regular thermometer.  If I could put a rubber gromet and be able to slide it in tightly and leave it on, I think that would be a cleaner alternative than tradtional meters and also would have to worry about wires going all over the place.
