Meat Probe Calibration Drift or Failure
Meat probe temperature reading is obviously wrong compared to other thermometers

Possible Causes
Damaged probe cable insulation, Probe tip exposed to direct flame, Moisture ingress into probe, Worn probe element
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Handle hot probes with heat‑resistant gloves.
- 1. Ice water test: Place the probe tip in a glass of ice water (without touching the sides). It should read close to 0°C (32°F). Large deviations indicate a bad probe.
- 2. Inspect cable: Look for cuts, kinks, or melted sections. Replace the probe if any damage is found.
- 3. Avoid direct flame: Route the probe so the cable does not cross over the fire pot or touch hot metal edges.
- 4. Replace probe: Plug in a new Tepro‑compatible meat probe and verify readings against a known good thermometer.
