I have 2 Accu-Rite Thermos that I got from Lowes last year. It has the metal wire and probe. When I took it out of the cabinet today, it would only say LO. It would read any temp. So I took the probe from my other Thermometer and hooked it to this one and it works. Is there any place I can buy just the wire and probe or do i have to spend another $20 on a new one?
 
Yeah, I saw some of the prices online....ouch. I sent them an email. I guess we will see what happens. Thanks guys.
 
Check with the manufacturer, I don know bout accurite, but taylor sent me a new one fer free, extras were 5 bucks each! Unit is 20 bucks new, so they are worth replacin on the taylors. Good luck.
 
I'm with dude on this one. I wait for those to go on sale at lowes, and buy them by the box. The last sale they had was for $5 a piece. I now have about 10 (some still work, some don't). When one goes bad, it ends up in the parts drawer. And yes, the wires are thin and cheap. You can further protect them by wrapping them in strips of foil. still though, keep them dry. This includes keeping them away from steam. So if you inclose them in a foil wrapped boston butt, make sure that the joint is outside of the foil, or they are packed tight in foil themselves.
 
I checked the other day at Lowes and they had NOTHING on clearance. Yet there were christmas trees in the same isle as the BBQ stuff. Must be getting close. And the only ones they had were the Taylor Wekend Warrior for $20. Are they any good?

yeah, thats the site...........Just tried again for the 4th time..........still doesn't work...........*sigh*.......story of my life
 
I got the same error. Filled in all the info and ERROR when hitting submit. I ended up calling them and they are sending me 2 new probes for FREE!

Thanks for the heads up Flash.
 
OK, so linked worked, just wouldn't complete form?

okay..........got my replacement probe today.........plugged it in, and it read 50 degrees to HIGH........called em up, and they are sending out TWO replacement probes next day..........so if nothing else, customer service for Chaney ROX............

I know it was 50 degrees to high, cause my maverick et-73 probe will fit in the acu-rite........

but again........their customer service ROX.........
 
I just got my probes today. Both of them read 70 degrees high on both on my thermometers. I was the WTH! SO I called them up. The lady had no idea why they weren't working properly. After being on hold a few minutes, the lady told me she could upgrade me to one of their wireless thermometers at no charge. But she could only send me one. I was ok with that because I still have a working probe for 1 of my thermometers.

Chaney Inst. Customer Service Rocks!
