Probe Died on Maverick

alexwolf1216 · January 12

I have a not too old Maverick E732 and my grill probe went nuts on me. fluctuating all over the place. I see new probes are $15ish plus $7 shipping, but I dont see this model any longer on their site. Is there a better one I should just pick up instead?

What's "not too old"? This seems to be a common issue, but apparently, there warranty is service is pretty good. I'd give them a call.

I bought it April 28 of last year. Their warranty says 90 days. I will give them a ring.

Same thing happened to me a couple of months ago. Give 'em a call, they will probably replace it for free.

if you have to buy new ones I think Big Poppa Smokers or someone had high-heat probes for the et732.Try a Google search maybe?

Alex same thing here I bought a Maverick ET-732 I had problems with probes they shipped me 2 new ones twice, it still was all over the board and just yesterday they replaced the entire unit. I would suggest giving them a call.I talked to a lady named Pricilla, very helpful very nice.

Freds has replacement probes.

Thanks guys. I emailed them and will call on Monday.

I checked Freds, but they are the highest price I have found. It was a similar situation when I was trying to find the fire starters. Their shipping was super high as well.

I live close to Freds, so I don't know what his shipping rates run. They are great there. Give them a call and see if they'll match a lower price.

Crap. At the rate these things seem to die, one would have the Thermoworks version paid off very quickly.

Does anyone place sell remote thermometers that can take higher heat. I just burnt up another one. Mine says HHH blinking. Been thru a few already

Eggcelsior · January 17

Thermoworks(makers of the vaunted Thermapen) offers one that use thermocouples that can withstand the heat. It is not wireless. The offer a "BBQ kit" that a little over 200 bucks. The "high heat" kit is 160.

Have any of you that have had probe problems used them exposed to direct heat from the charcoal? I always make sure to run them along the plate setter and out over the gasket. I only use them on indirect cooks.

Both my 732's are out of warranty. I have been buying these hybrid probes as replacement. They can be used as food or pit probes.

What temp are you guys using these in? I just got a maverick. Prior to used a cheap 20 dollar remote thermometer for a year with no issue.

nolaegghead · January 17

I bought a couple of these dual channel thermometers that use K-type probes - $18/each when I bought 'em. Looks like they raised the price. Anyway, don't use them for BBQ (beer temps and hvac stuff) but I don't see why they wouldn't work. The K-type probe are virtually indestructible.

I was cooking a 3" pork chop and it got away from me. To many beers probably. I usually get good life out of them unless im careless

henapple · January 17

I've used mine on cooks under 400...anything else is a pizza or a sear.

Priscilla sent me a new set. I have a 14lb brisket set to go on tonight, crossing my fingers.

Howdy, Stranger!
