Yes, I use one of these myself. PEP boys had one on sale for a Yugo for 
$19.95 in their bargin bin. Unfortunately they only register at exaust 
gas temperatures so what you have to do is create a sensor warmer to get 
an accurate reading-

                               Air in
                   --------------||-------------  <-old tailpipe
Propane    ________====
Torch      --------____    FLAMES (HOT)
                   -----------------------||----
                                          ^
                                   Yugo ox sensor

Be careful on high oxygen mixtures as the flames will project out the end 
of your tailpipe two to three feet and could singe the unwary. Total cost 
about $30 dollars. The only drawback is you have to figure in propane 
usage in your overall gas bill.
