I have a wireless one with the remote inside my refrigerator, the
readout/inside temp is mounted in back with velcro.
I can't think of anyplace outside that I'd put the remote. It needs a
new AA battery every 6 months & I'd think you have to keep it out of
the muck, weather & direct sunlight to be worth anything.
A wired probe makes much more sense.
