Tel Tru Thermometers (AKA "How long is your stem")

I replaced the BGE Thermometer that came with my medium egg with a Tel Tru with a 5 inch stem - today, when I put the turkey on the stem penetrated the bird and bent the stem when I closed the top.  Tel Tru offers thermometers with 2 1/2 inch stems and I'm thinking about ordering the one with the shorter stem.  The 5 inch also causes problems with large pork shoulders and sometimes ribs.

Does anyone have any experience with the 2 1/2 inch stems and anything good or bad to say?

Thanks.
