How do you secure the temperature probe for an external thermostat
inside a refridgerator?

I place mine between the wire rack and the carboy so that its in
contact with the carboy. I think it gets me closer to the liquid temp
than the air temp that way without actually putting it in the carboy.

When I'm rigged for serving instead of fermenting I just let it dangle
in there somewhere

Same here. I try to keep the probe in the lower part of the
freezer, not against any wall which might contain a coolant line.

I prefer to place the probe in a Cu tube sealed at the lower end and placed
in a jar of water on the lowest shelf.
