Sounds about right. I embed mine in the substrate, but then have the thermometer probe on top of the substrate.

Don't trust the temp markings on the dial of the thermostat, it's not necessarily accurate. Not far out on a Habistat stat that I use, but I wouldn't rely on it as the sole temperature indicator.

The stat gives you the peace of mind that the temperature will never get too high.
