What problems are you having? Have you checked the probes for accuracy with a boil test? I had to buy replacement probes once for my older ET-73, and it's worked like a charm since. You can buy just the probes if they wear out or go bad. Cheaper than replacing the whole unit.
My readings seem to jump around to much and sometimes they read high then drop then go back up which tells me something is up with them. I did a few pork butts this past weekend and the readings were all over the place. I think they are just getting old and failing plus the conduit where the cable and probe meet is getting bad and I've also taken some shrinkage piping that you would use in the wires of a trailer to keep them protected and put that over it and shrunk it on.. It worked really well, just think they are getting bad.
Hey Red,
I really think the BBQ probe reads high. I've tried it on the top rack middle, 2nd rack middle and it fluctuates a lot. As for the food probe, it's a bit up and down. I"m always aware to keep it away from the bone and ensure I hit a good portion of meat. I've tried it all the way in, I've done it 1/2, 3/4 in and it still gives me an ulcer. I think I'm going to just get new probes. Any recommendation on an instant read probe ? I've got another post out there as I think having one of those might help also.
