Neoprene = no good. Sorry mate but you already knew the answer to that one. If you can remove it and make one out of PTFE and its all ss then hay why not. But I'm sure there are better solutions available.

Re: neoprene
Find a thermometer with a probe that screws into the coupling, or make one yourself.

Re: neoprene
You can get those stainless compressionfittings cheap on E bay.
The will fit with ordinary 1/4" NPT.
They are available in several dimentions on the compression ring.
I use one myself. Wrap the thermoprobe in a couple of windings PTFE tape...and it seals well.
Cost are laughable and shipping costs free.
