Can you buy extra probes if the probe that comes with the iGrill eventually stops working?

Yes you can. Probes are available on iDevices website. http://idevicesinc.com

Yes just make sure you get the probes on tight. Mine became unscrewed and had to buy new prongs. But the collar is great.

Make sure you get the correct measurements for the probe, otherwise it will not fit and become completely useless. I did that with the one I ordered for our Quisenart griddle and it matched exactly. I did notice there are many types of probes so check the measurements carefully. If you can even find an original probe unit from the manufacturer, it will be a lot more costly.

it works with the probe itself but not either of the bottles that I got mine still sitting here unused.

I don't know but I have found that Polder probes are not interchangeable with different Polder models.

It's supposed o come with 2 sets of probes. Mine did not. Amazon gave me a credit adjustment for it. All I can say, is you're taking your chances that you'll get both sets of probes. It works great, though.

I bought the unit with two probes. One was defective (didn't work) and I replaced it. The other has worked flawlessly for several months now. Of course I treat it with great respect. It seems to be the luck of the draw.

When I have had that issue it and has been the probe that has failed, time to order a new probe. I order two to keep a spare on hand.. My BBQ can melt them when they get caught in a flare up....

Unfortunately, Melinda, I can't answer that. However, I can tell you that questions directed at customer care are responded to quickly and efficiently. I've talked to them about a couple of things (none of them bad) and received a response to my query right away. And, really, it's not all that expensive to buy another set of four to have some extras around. I find these things to be tremendously useful so I wouldn't mind having more. But that's probably just me. Good luck with the question. As I said, I think your best bet is to contact the Click 'N Dig customer care.

Between poor and great-- gook/ok/slightly above average. However, your question shows a deep knowledge at one of the major Achilles heels of these systems, and REALLY good probes (as in best of breed) could easily add several hundred dollars and more. In the end it depends on your needs, as in components and wires vs. detailed circuit components. For most applications, the included probes are fine.

I ordered extra probes with mine but haven't had a problem with the ones that came with it, I put heat shrink where the stainless wire meets the probe and have been smoking what seems like every time it snows without issue

Yes it does, these older ones with the non color screen come with the probe.

my 2 cents = Yes, I have gone through 5 probes this year. (2013) Bad batch? My last one failed after 2-3 uses.. and I am careful with these things. The computers are great, never had any trouble over the years but these probes are substandard. I have bought a bunch of these units as gifts..

I bought this temperature device- the connectors that come with it are not probes merely wires with plugs on the end. I happened to have two probes I used with another instrument before so I used them and they worked fine. you have to purchase thermocouple probes . which will attatch to these wires with plugs or have their own plugs on the ends. hope this helps

I've confirmed you can purchase replacement probes from Thermoworks that work with this unit. Any probe designed for their ChefAlarm will work interchangeably with this device. I have both and confirmed it myself. I've switched the probe for ChefAlarm and OXO chef and they both respond the same with temperature. http://www.thermoworks.com/products/alarm/chefalarm.html

No. Mine came with just the probe. I just used the clip from the short one I replaced.

I have had similar problems with the probe. Mine broke a few months after I first purchased the therm/timer. I didn't think to complain. I bought a whole new timer thinking it was a faulty thermometer mechanism of the Therm/Timer- no, it was the probe. It seems the connection between the metal probe, itself and the wire connection is weak and breaks easily (at least this was the prevailing comments from others) I've been very careful to not bend it so much and it seems to be OK, now. However, I'm done with this Polder model. I think you ought to demand reimbursement.
