    Welcome to the site. You could stick the magnet to the outside of the filter then wrap it in cellophane

    or use magnets from hard drives, they will stay where you put them, good luck prying them off.

    You should be aware that most regular magnets become weaker at temps above 175 degrees or so. You need magnets made for high temp applications, otherwise it might not be as effective as you think.

    I use high temp magnets that stay at their original strength up to 300 degrees.
