Default remote thermometer ideas?

heatbank in an attached barn with attached mechanical temp gauge
mounted in/on it.

Would be a *lot* more useful if temp could be checked without going
outside and into barn - any suggestions (and sources) for some sort of
suitable "remote temp gauge"
- temp range say abt 30 to 90 deg c
- wired is fine tho if cheap wireless acceptable :)
- (don't fancy the car type umbilical even if accurate....

cheers

Oregon temp/weather gadget with an extra remote sender. I have one - the
remote sender doesn't have a great range, but is better with clear line of
sight. Does do Min/Max which may be helpful.

There's probably better stuff...

Some RS232 gadget with a temp sensor (can give you hints if that's of any
interest). RS232 travels quite well at low bit rates (2400 will do 100's of
yards. Jack into PC in house.
