Am I doing right by using terminal strips and/or terminal blocks with matching thermocouple alloy contacts to tie the probe wires/extension together where junction boxes are necessary?

Or am I wasting money?

In general we try to go straight to the input card/temperature controller without making any junctions. Otherwise we would then prefer to use the thermcouple therminals or a thermcouple connector. It is worth the money, they are pretty cheap and then you don't have to worry about it.
