Substrate Thermometer where can I get?

Hey guys, So I was reading through Damions Coir Tek and it said that the temperature of the coir/verm mix needs to be 80-90 degrees before adding the spawn.
Can somebody send me a link or give me the exact name of a thermometer that would be good for measuring the temperature of the coir/verm for this tek?
Thanks

Just wait until the coir cools down to room temperature.
Usually about 4-6 hours after you mix it.
No need for a thermometer for this.

You don't need a thermometer. Just let it be cool to the touch.
But any thermometer will do.

Not necessary at all. Ive spawned to my coir\verm\straw sub when temps have been 70-75. Right now my room is 64 and myc is running nicely.
But if your still inclined to get one.. have a look at this http://www.amazon.com/Taylor-Classic-Instant-Read-Pocket-Thermometer/dp/B00004XSC4/ref=pd_sim_hg_2

If you do want a good thermometer though... I have bought a few cheap metal ones and two Taylor 1470 digitals and both of my Taylor 1470 digitals shows 97-98F when I stick it under my tongue and 212F with boiling water. They are spot on! It also comes with a temp alarm on it.
I saw it at Target today, ebay is cheapest, & there is amazon. But you can get a cheaper one that will do, or in your case do without, but for peace of mind for spot on temps and alarm I do recommend.
-------------------- A bit expensive but the largest clear tote I've found. Great if you want a large SGFC that can easily do both trays and cakes. If you decide to go all out on a SGFC, be sure to get coarse perlite. It keeps it cleaner and allows better FAE and humidity.
