Digital temperature reading differs from actual grate temperature by more than 50°F

Safety first: Use heat‑resistant gloves when placing or removing thermometers inside a hot grill.

• Verify with reference thermometer: Place a reliable oven thermometer or probe at grate level and compare readings to the grill display.
• Clean internal probe: Wipe soot and grease from the internal probe to improve accuracy.
• Understand temperature zones: Recognize that grate temperature can differ from air temperature at the probe location. Adjust cooking techniques accordingly.
• Replace probe if necessary: If the internal probe is clearly inaccurate compared to multiple references, replace it with a Char‑Broil compatible sensor.
