Thank you all so much for your input!

After getting some generous input here, online and from Rob at Olympic,
a very simple and obvious solution appeared.
I'll get a couple of large steel "L" brackets and mount them to the
exterior kiln wall. Then I can mount the pyro perpendicular to the kiln
wall.
That should keep the pyrometer safe and easily readable.

I expect this pyro is not the absolutely most accurate, but I do also
use at least 2 cone packs in my firings, so I think I'm good for now.
A digital pyro is definitely on the list, but between the new kiln, the
pad for it to sit on, the crane to get it in place and the roof I need
to build for it, I gotta sell a few pots first ;)

Again, thank you all so much for the input!
