General

Do ambient probes plug in the same as food probes?

Yes, the ambient probes have an identical plug (2.5mm audio plug) on the end, so you can mix and match ambient/food probes however you would like. They are identical sensors inside (RTD PT-100) so they work exactly the same way.

How hot can the probes get?

The thermistor probes and cables that come with the FireBoard are rated from 0°F to 572°F (-18° to 300°C). We also offer RTD versions of our probes that are rated from -58°F to 716°F (-50° to 380°C). Learn more about our probes here.

Are the probes waterproof?

Yes. Our manufacturer for the probes confirms they are waterproof, and our testing supports this claim; however, we do not recommend submerging the probes for an extended period of time.

How are the competition probes different from the standard probes?

The competition probes have a thinner stem for smaller cuts of meat or smaller foods, leaving a smaller puncture in the food.

How do I wash the probes?

Use a soapy cloth with warm water to wipe away any buildup or debris from the probe and the cable. Be careful not to pull or kink the probe cable.

The probes and cables should not be submerged in water or placed in a dishwasher.

Visit our Knowledge Base for more information on probe maintenance and care.

HOW LONG ARE THE PROBE CABLES?

They are 6′ in length. We also have probe extensions available, which add another 6′.
