The probes provided with the DynaQ are precision stainless-steel thermocouples. The thermocouple wires have 
an armor braid with moisture and smoke resistant Teflon insulation that is rated for steady-state temperatures up 
to 500°F. Do not kink the wires, or let them come in contact with direct flame. They can be handwashed or 
placed in a dishwasher for cleaning. The probes are user-replaceable and are available a

https://bbqguru.com/

Keep a spare set for unforeseen emergency situations. 

 

NOTE:

 Fully insert the probes into the control. Push the plugs into the receptacles so that they physically and 

audibly snap in place. If the probes are not plugged in securely, there may be erratic temperature readings and 
the DynaQ will not control temperature accurately. The temperature could also read low, causing the pit to get 
excessively hot.  

NOTE: 

Each probe jack has an LED indicator light above it. If a probe is securely plugged into the jack while 

the DynaQ is powered on but the LED does not illuminate, this indicates that the probe is damaged or broken 
and is not reading temperature properly.  

NOTE:

 The pit probe must be placed inside of the pit at the cooking area for proper temperature regulation. If 

the pit probe is not placed properly inside the pit, proper control will not take place. This can cause the fan to 
run constantly, causing the pit to become excessively hot.  

NOTE:

 Some ceramic grills present a special-case situation that can lead to early probe failure. If using a heat 

diffuser, run the probe cables over one of the ceramic legs. The heat coming up through the gaps is intense and 
focused, and if the cable is exposed to this heat, it begins to break down much more quickly than usual. Any 
heat or flame event inside the pit can send a blast of heat – even flames – up the inside of the pit, sometimes 
ruining a probe instantly. With proper care, a probe has a 2 to 3 year life expectancy.

The fan system uses a variable flow rate to fine-tune the amount of oxygen given to the fire.  

All fans are equipped with an adjustable damper and an aluminum nozzle.
