Hello all! New here and hopeful that one of you has already been down this road. I own both an RT-300 and and now a 700 and enjoy using both of them.
The RTD has failed for the 300 and I have ordered a new one from Rec Teq. However, I am curious if any of you have had luck with trying an aftermarket sensor from Amazon. I see there are several available for the Traeger grills and they look almost identical to the Rec Teq model. I ask because not only are they less expensive on Amazon, but they are also available on Prime and can be here the next day (whereas Rec Teq can be a bit slow in shipping).
I wonder if anyone has taken an ohm meter to a good sensor at room temperature to see what it reads. I am curious if the model the Traeger uses has a different resistance and would therefore read differently.
Thanks all!
