One of the best upgrades for most traeger grills. Easy plug and play install in 10 minutes or less.
Gives a more accurate temperature reading and regulates temperature much better than the older versions. Fits most Traeger grills that do not have one already installed.
Also gives you two temperature probes that allows you to check the food temp without having to open the lid and gives you a digital readout display. Reduces Amount Of Messy, Residual Ash.

Removing the hopper before swapping that out makes it much easier.
I recently upgraded my old old (from Mt Angel Traeger) ‘hi-med-low’ with a digital rtd. New Pot and hot rod. Really easy. I took a pic of wiring to simplify. Love my grill.
Thank you so much for the tutorial, Brian. The only things I know about electricity is that it’s invisible and that it BITES! ⚡️ You made this changeover so simple! Great video with clear instructions and shots of the things you were speaking of. Well thought out and executed. Keep em coming!
I just put a new temperature controller in my traeger when I put it all back together my auger didn't go to bring the pellets out that are burned power
I just put a temperature controller in my traeger I put it all back together the auger won't bring out the pellets
Thanks! I'm really disappointed that Traeger doesn't have any tutorials of this type on their site. I was so frustrated earlier when I couldn't even find out if this controller was compatible with my smoker.
hope this helped
Mark, same here!
Fantastic! 5 years later... Timeless video. Thank you for doing this. And yes, same as @efrey1911 ! All I know is that it bites....
Excellent how to video, thanks so much. Tried reading the instructions first (non-man) LOL but then looked for a video and much better. :)
I currently have to change the P-setting to correct temperature - are you saying this is no longer needed and the new controller will take care of precise temperature control?
I just put a jewel by freedom grills in mine this weekend. Same thing I did, one plug at a time. So stoked on the upgraded controller!
👍
You say upgrade
So its not the same? Mine has different wires. Because its the 3 setting dial type. So its an "upgrade" so where s the part about rewir8ng it for the "upgrade"?
All wires are unplugged so plug n play is not possible can you break down the new thermostat colors to connect to the traeger grill.colors. thank you
Very very helpful. Thank you for making this video.👍
The only I don’t like it does not have the P settings for less smoke or more smoke.
Is there a way to adjust the P setting without the hole or just out of luck?
There is a p setting. Just need to take the controller out. There is a button on the board
Thank you! They should have pokeyoked those connections. Just wanted to see that the purple white goes to the hotrod
Thanks for watching. Hope this helped.
Very well done vid... a real help. Thanks!
Thx for the video brother. Will make my change out of the new grill so much easier... Think I'll do the upgrade as I assemble the new grill.
It's a great upgrade and makes the Traeger even better.
this doesn't appear to be a pid-type controller. Is that correct?
Thank you! 🇺🇲
Did you find that the smoke mode kept the temperature around 165-180 degrees?
yes, my "smoke" setting usually hovers around 175-180
Do you know if this would be compatible with the renegade elite traegar?
Is it possible to add wifire Ronan older Pro.series?
I don't think so. They want you to buy the latest and greatest. This was the only upgraded controller I could find for.mine
Does the new controller come with the pro port plug with the controller.
Is there any way to make pro series 34 wifi remote?
I believe this is the highest upgrade for this model
Will this fit other brand pellet grills ?
“Liked” it when you threw the instructions away
instructions? That's just the suggested😂 way to do things!
Our grill is a much older model, BBQ070, which uses an analog controller and no display. There are 3 different bridles (fan, motor, hot rod); I notice you mention 4 bridles on your grill, and I wonder if you know what the fourth bridle is for?
I am trying to do this on the same 070 . I am getting an error 1 on my display. I am assuming its because I dont have an RTD sensor. IDK what that is. Let me know if you figured it out. Thanks.
The RDT temperature sensor seems to monitor the temperature inside the grill. It plugs into a green receptacle on the new circuit board. You will have to order this part, you will need a diagram of the newer model grill showing how to install, and you may have to drill holes for mounting and then routing the sensor wires. The payoff is much more precise control over the grill during cooking, although you now have a much more complicated start-up and shut-down procedure. And yes, without this sensor I don't see how you can get the new board to function. Best of luck, let us know how this goes!
@@Etherdave Thanks for replying. I did google it and ordered that part. I did look at my grill and there are already holes to put the temp probe. Before ordering I did see an answered question that asked if this upgrade would work for the 070 grill and there was no mention of needing this as well. I wish it was included , but understand why it isnt. If just one of the parts goes out, I would have to keep spending $150 when I just need one of the parts. Anyway, Happy smoking and Traeger on!
@@Etherdave what part do I need to order exactly? I’m having this same problem.
@@rightpedaldown9346 what part did you order? I’m having this same problem
It’s so weak that Traeger doesn’t offer a WiFi upgrade for all those dedicated folks that bought their grills only a few years back. Really poor. We know that we pay more for these grills. They are supposed to be “leaders” in this market. Perhaps not any more.
Lots of things have changed in the last few years. Lots of competition. I am good with that though, it keeps things competitive.
So my question the upgrade on this setup now is just so that you can use the dual temp probes correct
Traeger claims that this control is also more accurate. I believe that this model is what is on the newer models.
@@live.life.simple. thank you for the reply the one that's currently in my is one without the additional probes to go in that's where I was just curious if I should upgrade or not
Great video. Question: Why didn't you install the RTD sensor that came with it? Are they all the same or something? I'm coming from traeger elite and wondering if the RTD is any different.
That was everything in the package! There are possibly different control versions for different models.
The Pro controller (Blue) is an upgrade from the (Red) controller. It doesn't come with a new RTD. You would need to buy that separate if you were upgrading from one of the old models otherwise they figured you already had one installed. The Red controller upgrade does come with a new RTD as it is an upgrade from the original controller which only had low, medium and high settings and didn't come with a RTD. I think both controller upgrades should come with a new RTD but Traeger didn't think so.
what is a "RTD " sensor? I am doing this upgrade from the old 3 setting style and dont have those wires. the display showes error 1
@@rightpedaldown9346 the red led controller comes with a new RDT (thermometer that installs inside the grill on the left hand side). If you bought the blue led controller it is the upgrade to the red controller and does not come with a new RDT. (The blue led controller has the two temperature meat probes. The red led does not.)
RTD stands for Resistance Temperature Detector. They are simply a resister that varies resistance in an electrical circuit measured in Ohms by temperature variation. As the temperature changes the resistance in ohms changes. Failure is rare on RTD’s. 48 years industrial electrician here.
Where do you get the controller from
I ordered mine from amazon
I have a Tailgater 20 will this work in it?
So do I and I want to do this too. I believe it will work fine!
Great tutorial!
Thanks. I'm glad you found it useful!
Do the probes come with the new controller?
Yes!
Retired at 40- Live.Life.Simple. Did I miss the part when you changed the probe? Or did you use the old one? I have a traeger jr
Thx man!
Hope it helped!
Does this allow for Bluetooth use?
this particular model does not.
@@live.life.simple. I got a travel traeger today and would like to use with Bluetooth do you have any recommendations for a product?
Is there a P setting control button for the smoke setting?
No p setting on the newer controls
Retired at 40- Live.Life.Simple. I’m thinking about getting a new digital controller for my Traeger Texas,my model is 5 years old,I love my Traeger.
I did this and my Pro 22 won't start now, any ideas?
are you certain that the controller you bought is compatible?
My face won't go back into the machine...
Just came here to say, if you have the original style hopper box, you will need to trim the opening to get this to fit. Wasn't a big deal for me. 15 min with some time snips.
