I have a Digi Q and a Weber digital thermometer and they are 15 degrees off how accurate is either one?

Check both in a pot of boiling water. Should read around 212, depening on your elevation. You should be able to figure out which is off the most.

For what I paid for the Digi Q2 it should be the most accurate.

It "should", but I'd still check it if I were you. Here's some info on calibrating your BGE thermometer which may help you.

My DigiQ2 has always been right on when I check and compare it with my Thermopen before I take meat of the Egg.

You can calibrate the DigiQ if you find it to be off in boiling water. The calibration instructions should be the instructions you got with the unit.
The Naked Whiz -
I have had to replace my meat probe. My unit was just over 2 years old but gets a lot of use. If after you calibrate the probe and it doesn't read correctly, you will need to replace the probe. The controller is very accurate and I have never had a glitch while using it. A new probe was around $26, either the pit or meat.
