PIT TEMP
on GURU
is different
than on
cooker dome
thermometer.
(Cont’d)
It’s possible the PIT PROBE
is damaged and not reading
properly.
Swap the PIT PROBE with the
FOOD PROBE in their respective
jacks. If the FOOD PROBE reads
correctly in the PIT JACK then
you have a bad PIT PROBE. If
the FOOD PROBE also reads
incorrectly it may be bad as well
or you might have an issue with
your CONTROL UNIT.**
The PIT PROBE is incorrectly
displaying a very high temp.
(Usually in the 400 degree
range)
Your PIT PROBE may have a
broken connection inside the
wire.**
The CONTROL UNIT may be out
of calibration or be damaged.
The CONTROL UNIT comes
calibrated from our factory and
it is extremely rare that it will
go out of calibration. Most of
the time it is an issue with a bad
probe.**
PIT TEMP
display shows
“- - -”.
If the DISPLAY reads “- - -” this
means there is an error with the
PIT PROBE.
Make sure the probe is pushed
all the way firmly into the PIT
JACK.
Insert the PIT PROBE into the
FOOD JACK and if there is
still “- - -” displayed then the
PIT PROBE is bad. If the temp
displayed is correct then there
is an issue with the CONTROL
UNIT.**
The PIT PROBE wire has small
hard reddish bumps present on
the outside of the mesh.
The PIT PROBE has been melted
by direct flame or exposure
to high temperatures. You will
need to purchase a replacement
PIT PROBE from www.bbqguru.

FOOD TEMP
displayed is
wrong.
FOOD TEMP
on GURU
is different
than on a
different food
thermometer.
It’s normal for different brands
of thermometers to have some
temp variance but this should
be within only a few degrees.
Try your non-Guru food
thermometer in both boiling
water and ice water and see
how accurately it reads. It
might be that your non-Guru
food thermometer is out of
calibration.
