Cheap RTD probes

Does anyone know where I can find cheap RTD probes? I am looking for something like what comes in a digital meat thermometer. Like 6" pointed tip, with a 2' silicone cord. I cant find something like this anywhere! The thermometers only cost like $12 in the store so they should be cheap...

Any ideas?

Thanks

BTW... I am using this to make a really cool BBQ grill controller. mmm BBQ

That might work, but that is a thermistor. RTD's are more accurate. I might think of using thermistors for the food probes and and RTD or TC for the oven probe.
