i recently had to purchase a replacement food probe for my Maverick ET-73 after lighting it on fire...long story...
anyway, the one i got was the followin:

which says it's for the ET-732 but i figured that shouldn't matter right? well it seems to matter. i got a very incorrect reading the whole time it was in place. it was reading about 60F too low as compared to a thermapen.

has anyone had this experience before or have any suggestions. can it be calibrated? i also replaced the grill probe at the same time and i'm basically just assuming that that is reading correctly because it made more sense but for all i know that is not correct now either. i feel like i'm flying blind.
 
From what I've read they're not interchangeable. Maybe you could do the boil water thing to figure out how far off it is. Sorry, Jim
