Does anyone have any recommendations for thermal paste for the thermistor/heater? I've seen a few brands tossed around in various threads, but none of them were rated for temperatures above 200C. Thanks for any help.

Maybe copper paste would do? It is rated to withstand 1100°C

Exhaust putty / fire cement is a good choice. Conducts heat better than "thermal" grease.

I've been using Noctua thermal paste left over from my CPU cooler. It's been perfect for over 6 months now.
