StanbroilController Replacement for Traeger Pellet Grills, Upgraded Control Panel with 2 Pcs Meat Probes

My original burnt up (literally) so I upgraded to this one. I was going to find parts & rebuild the circuit board traces but when I started my search for parts I found this. For this price it isn't worth fixing the old one.It is a little more narrow then the old one. I have a credit card size gap on each side. Other then the not faded paint showing now, it looks good.I have only tested it after installing it. I have not done a cook with it yet. I hope it doesn't try to start a fire other then in the pit again.

Quick update. Stanbeoiol sent an email today offering to replace the unit and apologized for not providing an updated user manual. Didn't expect such a quick response. The 4 star rating is due to them not having a listed phone number. Will update our rating after using the new unit.Bought the unit to replace the Traeger digital controller on our new Traeger Texas Elite 34. Temps are anywhere form 30-45 degrees less than shown on the readout. Smoke temp is anywhere from 180 to 220 and should be appr. 140-180 range. High temp setting never goes over 400 degrees and fluctuates from approx 350 to 400 constantly. The meat probes are very close to the readings from our hand temp gauge. However, many time the probe temp will not display. It will blink while checking the temp but flip back to the rtd temp too quick. Also, the user manual states to call customer service before adjusting the "p" setting and it also shows where the access hole is next to the digital display. This unit does not have that hole, possibly a revision like the new Traeger digital controllers have.The 1 star is due to no listed customer service number and having to email them and wait for 2 days...maybe. Stanbroil may save a few bucks doing this, but is losing a customer/s worth that? We do not recommend this controller.

My Traeger Lil Tex is so old that it came with the 3 position control, "smoke, medium, high". Everything is just "plug and play" EXCEPT, the old style control does NOT have an RTD temperature probe. That is NOT included with this control because it isn't needed if replacing a digital control that already has one. I found one on Amazon for about $6. Fortunately, the holes to run the wires and mount it were already there--digital control must have been an option back then. I fired it up and everything seems to work fine, haven't checked the accuracy of the temps yet, but hopefully that won't be a problem.

Got this for my Traeger Renegade Pro, which had the the 3 stage basic Red LED controller. The temperature swings went way down, it stayed roughly within about 20 degrees of the set point for me. The temperature for the unit comes from the probe on the side of the grill. My temperature gauge shown in the images was in the center grate area. So it would be closer to the heat, and make sense that it was a bit warmer than what was shown on the settings. So I recommend using a digital thermometer like I'm using to get an ambient and meat temperature for better accuracy. Installing wasn't too tough, there are plenty of YouTube Videos showing the process. The hardest part I had was getting the power cord to pass through the bottom of the metal tray. For me it took about 15 minutes to install. The quality of the unit seems really well built, just as good as the official Traeger one. It is not an exact clone as far as I can tell, but very close. It might be built better actually. When installing, I recommend plugging one D plug in at a time. So that you won't get confused as to which cable replaces what in the wiring harness.

I have 2 Traegars. I upgraded the old one with the digital controller when it came out. I decided to give Stanbroil a try. Well wouldn't you know it there was a problem with the one I received. This is the Saturday before Thanksgiving with 20 people coming for Thanksgiving. Need both Traegers! Sent an email to the seller not expecting a reply until Monday and ordered a Traegar Controller. Received a reply Sunday asking me to verify that the controller was connected properly. Replayed that it was. Monday I received an email asking if I wanted a replacement or refund. Opted for the replacement. I liked the dual integrated meat probes and decided to upgrade both units. I see very little difference in the performance. The Traeger controller does have a better set of installation instructions and there is an 800 number for questions which avoides the delay in emails. Stanbroil repalys promptly to emails. Performance for our Christmas group party (60 people) I did 2 brisket in one unit and a brisket and Pork shoulder in the other. All came out perfect . Am as happy with the Stanboril controller as I am with the Treager

I had high hopes this device replacing the original module for my Dads Traeger. I was going to surprise him while he’s recovering from a broken hip by replacing the igniter rod and upgrading the control module. His older model did not have a cool down cycle and this seemed like the perfect upgrade.Let’s begin with the installation. Replacing the old module was fairly simple as long as you keep track of the wire connections. The problem is with the mounting in the original location. This new module would not fit the width of the opening and I had to cut away some metal on the box to make it fit. Once installed, all functions were operational until I noticed the temperature on the display holding an average of 50 degrees higher then the setting. Testing the temp with a separate thermometer, the temperature in the box exceeds the displayed temp by quite a bit. In smoke setting, the display ranged from 147 to 167 but the actual temp in the smoke box ranged from 183 - 203. Setting it to 250 the smoke box was 315. Oddly enough, the prob temp was consistent with my Chugod prob, just not as quick to change.If I can find a way to adjust the accuracy then this would be the almost perfect item to spruce up an older smoker.

Works perfectly, and easy to install. Nice upgrade for my Traeger!

This was not great. The install was fine but when I put it to smoke to test it out the temps would climb to to 400,Temps were all over the place. Might have had a bad unit but this was terrible. Returned.

New controller worked great for 2 months, then like many reviews on here it started to only work on high heat no matter what temp setting it was set to. Customer service was excellent, Stanbroil gave me a new code for a replacement part right away. Hopefully this new part last longer than 2 months.

Treager smokers out of warranty, units need replacing. This works great and is a fair price. Fast delivery, back up running in 48 hrs.

My original had no probes on it so this is a nice upgrade

dont bother with the cheap replacement. I hooked it up and it runs right to 500F without stopping...temp controls simply dont work
