Taylor candy thermometer. Cheap, has never let me down, and available at most big-box stores that carry kitchen goods.
In addition to what /u/Rks1157 said, also get a candy thermometer to keep track of the heat of the oil. It is really important to know the heat of the oil.
I think I've narrowed your interests down to a few fields. Alcohol, Magic: the Gathering, reading, hockey, and football. What do I have in common with you? Probably that I'm going to my first hockey game this saturday, Caps vs Coyotes. I would say reading, but I'm more of a science guy, I do more chemistry, biology, and physics than anything else, If you count that as reading then sure, I'm all for reading. I don't think anything on my list even comes close to something you would buy, but I'll link something, just in case.

I saw a posting you made on a food subreddit, perhaps that will be a common link.
Thanks for holding a contest!
Don't listen to this person: buy yourself a candy thermometer, like this one. They're cheap and take the guesswork out of it.
Spend ten dollars on this. Also, unrefined corn oil smokes at 320, so either make sure it's refined or use a different oil, as the stuff I fry (mostly fries and wings, haven't done mozzarella sticks yet) is at 350-375 range.
I screwed up my fudge last night. I have a digital probe thermometer but I think the placement of the thermometer makes all the difference. If it rests on the bottom, it's going to read too high. I also suspect if you have a long probe and not enough depth to the fudge, the thermometer might read too low. I had three thermometers and they all had a different reading. The thermometer I am thinking of buying to rectify this is the classic deep fry/candy thermometer like this: http://www.amazon.com/Taylor-Classic-Deep-Fry-Analog-Thermometer/dp/B00004XSC9 It has a bulb instead of a long probe so hopefully it will take a reading from a single point rather than a long line and be more accurate. I don't know for sure how these probes work though. When I was cooking it last night, the temp seemed to rise quite slowly for me. It could be my regular analog thermometer is just off so I need to test it and that bit about the probe being inaccurate because it is long is false thinking. I used Alton Brown's recipe.
