Looks very good that one. What size thread are you having put in? In mine i use labfacility thermocouples and there's have glands with 1/8BSP threads. Im gonna order some more up soon since I had to open an account with them if you want the bits let me know. From memory it works out about 15 for gland and thermocouple.

What kind of gauge is used with those thermocouples? Are these things standardized or universal? I have been using Autometer gauges, which are available with their own thermocouple. I wonder if this would work out cheaper/better/different.

as long as your autometer takes a K type thermocouple it should be a problem. The ones I used have a mini K type plug on them and you need a female one for the gauge wiring. The thermocouple is 3mm dia so as long as you have a gland with the right size hole for the thermocouple it doesnt matter which one you use.
