Pit Boss Probes Accurate?

[ScottyW]

I have a PB1150PS3, and I've used the probes that come with it. However, there is often a major difference between what those probes say versus my insta read thermo. Was wondering if any of you have issues with the probes that come with the PB.

I used them before I got my Meatstick probes, they seemed solid. I just use them for grate temp now.

I can say that when I start up my Comp all 3 probes displays on the control match and show the same temp as the outdoor temp. As a grate temp monitor they seem to track correctly with the cool spots and the ambient sensors on my Meatsticks.

So I guess I haven't had problems with them. I just don't rely on them to cook with any more.

Welcome from the holler!

My PitBoss vertical probes are off. I just got a wired four probe InkBird so I could adjust the temps to be more accurate

My PB probes seemed off as well (~30° low). I have a ThermPro 2 probe model that works well enough for now.

I usually use one in the meat and one at cooking shelf height to read chamber temp, and adjust the Pit Boss temp for the desired temp at food level.

As others I never used them, purchased a stand alone bluetooth duel temp unit.

Here are my test results of the two probes on my new 1600PSE - they were very accurate. https://www.pitbossforum.com/threads/pb-1600-pse-temp-test.4102/

Welcome!! I use a 4 probe wireless ThermoPro in the meat and for grill temps. I’m very happy with it!
