Economy model. Replacement is often more logical than expensive repairs.

Notes

Smart grilling hubs and connected thermometers improve results but are exposed to heat, grease, and weather. Repair is often worthwhile for replacing probes and cleaning or renewing connectors.

Replace is usually better when the control module fails, if ports become unreliable from corrosion, or if readings remain inaccurate after probe replacement and calibration.
