Maverick ET-732

atbarr · January 22

'Most' of the time, my Maverick ET-732 works great. But more likely, the meat probe reading stay HHH. Except when I'm grilling a steak, I never get above 300 degrees. What am I doing wrong?

My grill probe just went out. Is yours dirty? Might clean it.

With the "always when you don't want to see it" LLL or HHH, I suggest shutting off the units and reseating the probe plugs in the transmitter. Turn them back on, receiver first. Mine seems to like this method of tender care.

I thought HHH ment the probe is ruined?

I think when you see that it is above the highest rated reading, somewhere around 600ºF. I only use mine to monitor low and slow cooks when I am grilling not really that concerned with temperature.

When I get any error with my 732, I shut if off, switch the probes into the opposite ports, set the temps again, resync, turn it off and put the probes back in the correct port, and restart. Not sure why, but it has always fixed any error I've had. Maybe just lucky.

I think the standard probes may not go as high as 600. I think they read HHH at 470ish. There are high temp probes available for the maverick which go higher. This was at least true for the et73. Make sure you don't submerge the probes when cleaning as they can be delicate if the connection between probe and wire gets wet.

Ditto on high temp cooks

When mine said HHH the porbe wasn't pluged in far enough. When it said LLL the probe was bad.

Like I said, I never smoke above 300 degrees. I had wash, the cable has never got wet. Is there another brand I should look at? It's pretty hard trying to smoke without being able to check the internal temp.

When you route the probe wire make sure that it is protected by one of the platesetter's legs, for extra protection wrap the probe's wire with tin foil.

Very often, when I start my cook, my ET-732 shows the HHH. (usually on the grill temp). I push the two sensor wire plugs into the transmitter very hard and it usually starts working correctly.

Sorry, you guys know that.

So I wanted to smoke a Prime Rib Roast. The meat probe was dead. Duh! The battery was dead. I installed a new battery, and it worked perfectly. Life is Good, and so was the Prime Rib Roast.

Howdy, Stranger!
