Temperature Meat Probe Replacement for Traeger Grills

I’d give this 10 stars if I could. I had a feeling my traeger was off because I kept having the probe say my meat was smoked to temperature but when I cut in it looked under. After further research apparently this is a common problem and this item works perfectly as a replacement cheaper than the genuine traeger part and even comes in a two pack! Readouts are sent right to my phone and are pinpoint accurate!

I’ll admit it—I was skeptical about swapping out my Traeger’s RTD probe for an off-brand version. Temperature accuracy is critical for smoking meat, and I didn’t want to risk ruining a brisket just to save a few bucks. 🔧 Surprisingly Easy Installation: This probe slotted in perfectly. No special tools, no complicated steps—just a clean, quick replacement. It lined up exactly where it should and felt solid once installed. 💰 Slightly Cheaper, Still Worth It: This part came in just a few dollars less than the OEM Traeger probe—not a massive discount, but enough to notice. Given how well it performs, I’d say it’s money well saved. 🌡️ Dead-On Temperature Readings: The most important part - the readings are spot-on. I monitored temps throughout long cooks and compared with an external digital thermometer—no discrepancies. Heat holds steady, and recovery time after opening the lid feels consistent. I’ve used many third-party accessories with mixed results, but this one impressed me. If you're hesitant like I was, don’t be. This little probe performs like a pro.

I like my Traeger Pro-22, but the OEM controller was crap. Set temps would routinely fluctuate +/- 75 degrees or more. "Smoke" setting was almost worthless. Instead of holding 160-180 degrees (per Traeger manual), it would either flame out or otherwise climb as high as 300, sometimes ruining the meat. Tempted to return the smoker, but it made more sense to try an aftermarket controller. Very happy with the YAOWE product. Easy installation, perfect fit. Set-temps now maintain within a narrow range, usually +/- 15 degrees. Best feature of this controller is the adjustable "P" setting, only active while using the "Smoke" setting. Allows you to customize the control for your own grill, & adjust for weather conditions. Have run it for 9 months now, & dozens of cooks. Flawless performance both winter & summer, from subzero temps (& wind) up to 90 degree evenings. Adjust the 'P' setting up or down dependent on outside temps, & it holds smoke temp between 155-185. Very pleased with the product, and find it to be an exceptional value. Highly recommend.

April 24th 2025- lowering one star for now, have had a constant battle for maintaining temp below 275 when on pr1 (pid setting). If I set it for 275 it will climb slowly but reach which is fine. If I set it to 250 it will drop below 220 and never really get back up there. That is unless I set for higher than 275. Have checked the pid settings per manual many times for appropriate size. Will continue to do various smokes but this is slowly getting away from set it and forget and returning to set it and watch it. Not the best as it stands for low and slow control. Will try the default with no pid again today to see if it helps. If it does I’ll likely maintain the 4 star as it removes the pid options as that’s part of the selling point. Have done three cooks and not just tests so far, when it’s in temp range it works as expected and gives great results. April 18th 2025 - so far so good, installed on a zgrill (I know it says it won’t work but it’s doing just fine and fit no issue!) and much less janky then the original that would work for hours then overshoot by 200 degrees sometimes. Wasn’t the probe, multiple confirmed (regular, wireless and even one for checking radiator heat wireless) so was obvious it was the board. Overall, pretty happy! Not sure about the probe ports on front, haven’t tested nor care about those. Will update if it has problems in future.

It took 7 years of flawless operation, but my smoker finally had hit the dreaded "Her" code. Working with Traeger support they suggested it was this module that needed replacement, however they wanted $99 for the module plus an additional $40 for the temperature probe. Quick search on Amazon and I landed here. Smoker heats up fast, controls the temperature better than the controller I just took out, and a cleaner shutdown (pot is much cleaner). Yes, you need to adjust for the size of smoker (instructions included) and adjust for the internal temperature vs. what is dialed in on the controller. I used a internal temperature probe to get actual internal temp and adjusted according to the very good instructions on how to dial it in for my smoker. One item to note, you MUST tie off the wires from the controller so it does not interfere with the fan on the auger...use the zip ties included with the controller and use your eyes, and tie them away from that fan (if the fan cannot spin freely, you will get an error and the smoker will stop). If you have zero mechanical ability, replacing this yourself may not be a good idea :)

Update, 2025 06 10 While the smoke setting works well to get flavor and a smoke ring, and holding 150°F to 180°F, the next lowest setting of 225°F, runs more like 275°F+ and risks drying out the meat and overcooking. I tried to use the calibration setting, but could never get it to run colder and had to try yet another controller. It really needs an intermediate step between smoke and 225°... or if it actually held 225° that would be fine too. Original Review I put this controller on a Pit Boss PBV4NX, as 3 OEM controllers all failed. It's working so far with 2 test runs, and seems to hold the temperature better than the fancy Pit Boss controller, and the temperature probe reads within 10deg of my meat probes, so seems to be calibrated well. While the molex connectors are the same style, the wires don't match up, so I opted to retrofit with wire nuts instead. The panel is the same size as the pit boss, so it screwed right in.

Fonctionne très bien belle qualité

Worked perfectly on our Trigger bbq.

Replacement probe for treager. Having some issues calibrating not sure if it is the probe or the controller on treager

It’s compatible with our Traeger and works just like the original!

Parfait pour mon traeger
