You could probably just find you a compression fitting that will work. Just make sure the ferrule fits the probe and you'll need to drill it all the way through. The one in the image above is stainless but if I'm not mistaken I ran a brass one once. Brass melts between 1,650 to 1,720 °F. I'd think that if it did melt, the worst it would do is blow out. I do know I ran a 1/4" brass pipe plug that never gave me a problem.
