Title: Memphis Pro Probe Question
Post by: MadFoodScientist on January 30, 2018, 11:30:19 AM: I was wondering if the Memphis Pro works with probes that are not the official Memphis Grill probes. In other words, if I have a probe from something else (such as the Fireboard), could I use that probe directly with the Memphis Pro instead of buying new probes.
Thanks!

I plan to use the probe that came with the grill- I am just curious if I will be able to use the probes I already own in the other 2 ports.

If you don't like your new pit, my Pro needs a brother. That will never happen. ;)

You may want to confirm that with your dealer because you do not need to remove the plastic to assemble.
