Compatibility
Fits all non-WiFi Traeger grills except Tailgater, Junior, Bronson, PTG+, Scout, Ranger, and Commercial Series.
Retrofitting
Some grills may require an alteration to enlarge the opening for this larger board, but most Traeger grills need no alteration.
Meat Probes
Includes 1 BAC329-AMP and 1 BAC289-AMP.
Probes have one black and one white-colored head jack for identification at the controller but are otherwise identical.
Jack type: 1/8" TRS (tip, ring, sleeve) stereo jack.
Note: Some older discontinued Traeger grills made before 2014 had different wire connections on their controllers. Those controls are now obsolete. You can still use this controller as an upgrade by converting your existing wiring of your components to this Molex Wiring Connection or, by upgrading/ replacing all of the electrical components which will have the correct and most current Molex wire connections already attached.
IMPORTANT: Before attempting to remove or install the Control, ensure the Switch/Dial is in the OFF position and the Power Cord is disconnected from the electrical outlet. Even with the Switch/Dial off, electricity is still present at the Control. Failure to disconnect the Power Cord could result in personal injury from electrical shock and/or irreparable damage to the Control.
Removing the Existing Smoker Control:
Switch Off: Ensure the Switch/Dial is in the OFF position. Disconnect the Power Cord from the electrical outlet.
Wiring Diagram: Review the Digital Control Wiring Diagram to familiarize yourself with the color coding of the wiring connections. Disconnect the wiring from the Smoker Control by separating the 4 Molex Connectors found on the underside of the Pellet hopper.
Remove Screws: Remove the two screws securing the Smoker Control to the Pellet Hopper. Save these screws for later use with the Digital Control.
Remove Control: Carefully remove the Smoker Control through the opening in the front of the Pellet Hopper, adjusting the angle if necessary. Save the Smoker Control in case it needs to be reinstalled temporarily.
Installing the RTD:
Prepare Grill: Open the Door and remove the Porcelain Grill and Grease Drain Pan to provide access to the left side of the Grill.
Remove Cable Tie: Carefully cut the cable tie securing the RTD Wires to the RTD. Remove the Screw and Lock Nut from the RTD mounting bracket if attached.
Thread Wires: Thread the RTD Wires through the center hole of the RTD Grill Filler and then through the small hole in the left end of the Grill. Continue until the lower end of the RTD can be inserted into the RTD Grill Filler.
Mount RTD: Mount the RTD to the RTD Grill Filler using the 1/2” long Screw and the Lock Nut. Tighten to secure the RTD.
Route Wires: Run the RTD Wires through the space between the end of the Grill and the Pellet Hopper, then feed the Wires up through the opening for the Control.
Wiring and Mounting the Digital Control:
Terminal Block: Locate the Green Terminal Block on the back of the Digital Control. Using a small screwdriver, loosen the screws to open the clamping jaws.

Smokin' Days Ahead
I was so disgusted with my Traeger I put it in my shed for 3 years because of the controller. Then a week ago I came across your website and ordered the part on Friday and arrived on Wednesday. My son changed out the original Saturday and I was smoking on Sunday. Very accurate on temperature , I couldn't be happier. Thank you very much!

Should have done this earlier
Easy to install, solved the wild temperature swings, wish I had updated sooner
COMPATIBLE WITH ALL TRAEGER GRILLS EXCEPT TAILGATER, JUNIOR, BRONSON, PTG+, AND COMMERCIAL SERIES
Will this controller work on a Traeger BBQ 075?
COMPATIBLE WITH ALL TRAEGER GRILLS EXCEPT TAILGATER, JUNIOR, BRONSON, PTG+, AND COMMERCIAL SERIES
I acquired an old traeger smoker (model BBQ 100) that works great. Would this controller work on that old of a model? Can't find much info on it.
According to the techs at Traeger you will be able to use this part on your BBQ100.
How to use the probe
Hi, After you plug the probe/s into the control board then insert the probe or probes into the meat, you will push the silver button that is next to the on/off switch. P1 or P2 will show on the display. Wait a second or two and it will give you the temperature in that part of the meat. If you are using both probes to monitor temp in two different places, press the silver button again and with will then read the temp from the second location.
Would this work on the Century 22 from Costco? It would be nice to have the meat probe
Hello, According to the tech at Traeger this probe will work with your Century 22 from Costco. He mentioned that you will need to have the cover closed at startup then set the probe to the desired setting.
The updated version of this controller is working perfect. Easy install. Very cool. Thanks!!
