Temperature probes compatibility among grilling thermometers?

[ChadRex]

are grilling/BBQ Temperature probes compatible among different grilling thermometers?

Yes. No. There is incompatibility...you need to know which type of probe you have.

Thanks for the response. My ThermoPro TP828 BW has these thick barrels at the end of the probe. That barrel is too thick to put through my probe grommet.

My solution is to order replacement probe wires that don't have that thick barrel at the back of the probe.

Those thick barrels actually serve a purpose...they reinforce the area where the probe wires enter the probe tube (the wires extend all the way to the tip of the probe inside the thin-wall SS tube) and also help seal the wire's entrance into the tube against water incursion when washing. That area is the weakest point in the probe and where the probes most commonly fail. Use care with your new probes!
