Drill a small hole for the thermocouple wire..
Hopefully, you kept the electronics of the thermometer OUTSIDE the oven.
I did calibration of a homebrew oven using a glass thermometer (Woodco M 5461 1-400F); two LM35DT; two commercial thermometers (Test Products International TPI330, Habor kitchen thermometer -50C to +300C); one thermocouple and an Omega 6100 to set oven temperature. All measured temperature within 5C of each other for settings 190C to
215C. The glass thermometer tracked the thermocouple within 2 degrees C or better.
