okay so here's what comes in the package and this says it's compatible with all
Pro Series Elite Series town & travel series and commercial series I'm
assuming that that means anything with the digital readout like this which as
far as I know that's just about everything unless you have a real old
one basically it's just the guts here you're replacing your original
temperature and then it has two probes and then two outlets for the probes
everything else looks exactly the same and there's a button for probe selection
last but not least it comes with an instruction book and you're if you're a
typical man you can just go ahead and throw this away
okay for this really easy install you just need a few tools you need a
Phillips screwdriver you'll need a small flathead screwdriver
I'm using three different kinds and you'll see why and later in the video
pair of wire Clippers and then a couple of zip ties when you're all finished
let's get started all right so not much to pull in this thing off you just need
a phillips screwdriver there's true two screws and they're just
threaded into the metal now the instructions say to access everything
from the bottom of the pellet cabinet so I'm gonna go under there and see what it
looks like okay so I'm gonna take my finger through the front here so you can
see this is where we just took out the control panel there's a bunch of wires
here and then these are the four connections that you're after for the
new ones so we need to cut these zip ties that are kind of holding this group
of wires together okay so here's one two make sure you don't cut the wires
because that would be a problem and
three over here you know if the bottom is loose just
take this panel and we're gonna push it through this opening here and pull it
through the bottom okay so once that's through that gives you lots nicer access
to this cluster of wires right here which is what you're after and you can
see that here's the new controller this is the old controller it's all the same
colors wires so it should just be plug and play and should be good after that
you will want to have a flat screwdriver these are locking little plugs so you do
need to stick something down in there to get them to free up, the easiest way I've
found is to put one on each side and it will slide out and I think the easiest
way is probably to do this one at a time that way you don't get these mixed up so
I've just removed for the purple and white and I'm just gonna put the purple
and white from the new one back on
okay this last one is up here there's not a lot of slack on it and I'm not
going to be able to take a picture and do it at the same time but same kind of
connection and your colors will still match up with the new one our last
connection step is we need to take these RTD wires right here the two white ones
and just use a flat head and just remove those and it does say that you can put
these back in any order I'm gonna put them back the way they are in there just
because and it's just a block terminal so when you tighten that screw down
it'll hold that it just pinches it down
alright there we go we're all hooked up and for future reference you do have a
fuse block right here so for some reason you can't get your digital readout to
come on and your traegers not working you always want to check that first because
that's the easiest fix okay so now that this is all put together we're just
going to do this in Reverse so we're gonna come up through the back here put
our screws back in
before i zip-tie all my wires back up in there I'm gonna power it on and make
sure that I've got power okay here goes nothing
success
I can hear my auger kicking on right now so last but not least we're just gonna
zip tie all those wires back together and we should be good all right it looks
like we're good we're smoking now I'm going to give it to the probes a test
okay for those of you who did not know this little hole right here in the side
of your grill is actually to put a probe through so if you've never used a probe
before
just feed it through here into your grill my grill is a disaster right now
so I apologize for that I think you just take your end put it right here
in the probe do the same to the other once you get your two probes hooked up
there's a probe selector button and that will let you scroll it says po1
I'll let you scroll to see what temperature each is at and that will
stay on for a few seconds and then it will flash back to your grill
temperature
