What type of sensors needed inside kiln?

[flip]

I have a inside/outside temp. meter to monitor my kiln temp but I also need some type of remote RH meter or wet/dry bulb.  Any suggestions or ideas?

we use an extech heavy duty temp / rh meter at work. Cost about 125 bucks goes from 10 percent to 95 percent.

You could also cobble one together by buying a sensor from digikey and doing a little soldering.

Here's an example http://rocky.digikey.com/WebLib/Humirel/HM1500.pdf

Yikes!  Too complex for me.  Thanks for the link-I asked them for a quote.

extech is a nice meter pretty tough as well, ours gets abused quite often, dropped, chewed on etc.

Still working fine.

Flip,

I assume by remote you mean a sensor on a long cable with a display on the outside of the kiln.

Here is a link to the meter I built:

Yep.  Just exactly what you made.  Interested in building one?
