FCCUM RTD Replacement Probe for Pit Boss 700 & 820 Series — 3.5" Stainless Tip, 23" Braided Cable

FCCUM's RTD replacement probe is a plug-and-play high-temperature sensor designed to restore accurate grill and meat readings for most Pit Boss 700 and 820 series wood pellet smokers.

If your Pit Boss display is showing erratic temperatures or the internal probe has failed, swapping in a compatible RTD sensor is the fastest way to get reliable readouts and continue smoking with confidence. This FCCUM probe matches the form and function of OEM RTD sensors, offering a 3.5-inch stainless-steel tip, 23-inch thermal-braided lead, and straightforward installation so you can be back at the grill in minutes.

How does this RTD probe restore accurate grill temperatures?

The FCCUM RTD replacement reads ambient grill temperature with a precision resistance temperature device element, giving stable measurements across high heat ranges. Because it plugs into the existing Pit Boss controller, it behaves like the original sensor for consistent feedback to the unit's PID or control algorithm.

• High-temperature RTD element suited for smoker heat profiles
• 3.5" stainless probe tip for quick thermal response
• 23" thermal-braided cable resists heat and routing damage
• Direct plug-and-play compatibility with most Pit Boss 700/820 models

Will this probe work as a meat probe or only for ambient grill sensing?

This FCCUM probe is primarily designed as an internal grill/ambient RTD sensor but can also serve as an additional meat probe in many setups. The stainless tip and simple construction make it suitable for occasional meat monitoring; confirm controller compatibility and probe input requirements before relying on it as your sole meat thermometer.

• Stainless-steel tip easy to clean after use
• Works best as a grill/ambient sensor; can be used for meat monitoring when compatible
• Not intended as a waterproof, always-submerged probe
• Safe for routine grilling and smoke sessions when used per controller guidelines

How easy is installation—do I need tools or calibration?

Installation is simple: unplug the old RTD and plug in the FCCUM replacement using the existing connector—no soldering required. Most users will not need to recalibrate the Pit Boss controller; the replacement is made to match OEM resistance characteristics for immediate, accurate readings.

• Plug-and-play connection matches OEM pinout in most Pit Boss 700/820 units
• No special tools or calibration typically required
• 23" braided cable gives room for neat routing inside the grill chamber
• Tip is cleanable under running water for straightforward maintenance

What durability and service features does this probe include?

The FCCUM RTD replacement is built for heavy-duty backyard use: the braided cable shields against heat and abrasion while the stainless-steel probe stands up to routine cleaning. FCCUM also provides customer support through Amazon Messenger if you encounter fit or performance questions.

• Thermal-braided 23" cable resists high-heat exposure and fraying
• Stainless probe tip resists corrosion and is easy to sanitize
• Designed to withstand repeated cook cycles in pellet grills and smokers
• Customer service available for installation or compatibility help

Who is this for? The FCCUM RTD replacement probe is intended for Pit Boss 700 and 820 series owners whose factory grill sensor has failed or whose system needs an extra reliable probe. It’s ideal for backyard pitmasters who want a low-cost, OEM-compatible swap that restores stable grill temperature readings quickly—no advanced tools or technical expertise required.
