Since the probes are technically interchangeable, and many can be purchased separately, we were curious about whether the brains in the base unit or the quality of the probes was more responsible for a thermometer being accurate and precise.
Keeping this in consideration, can you burn wood in a Big Green Egg?
Because you almost always use the convEGGtor when using wood chips (and chunks), the temperature in your EGG drops when the wood is added.

CHECKING YOUR PROBE
A simple way to check a digital probe is to put it in iced water and boiling water: • The readings in iced water should be between -1°C and 1°C. The readings in boiling water should be between 99°C and 101°C.

This can sometimes be fixed by baking the probe in an oven at 250°F (120°C) for 10-15 minutes, as this will evaporate out moisture that may be trapped in the probe. Make sure you are only putting the probe+wire in the oven, not the jack or transmitter.
How do you fix a stuck grill thermometer?
Fill a glass with ice and just enough cold water to fill the space between the ice. Stir the ice and water for 30 seconds to stabilize the water just at the freezing point of 32 degrees. Place the tip of the thermometer in the ice water and the reading should stay right at 32 degrees.

How do you store temperature probes?
Store the Pro-Series probes loosely, with no kinks in the cables. Don’t wrap it around the Smoke housing, as it often pulls the cable tight and stresses it, leading to damage. Coil them carefully and put it somewhere safe (we recommend the Zippered Storage Case).
How do you use a dual probe thermometer?
