MARS CAMP Digital Thermostat Control Board Kit for Pit Boss 5 Series Vertical Pellet Smoker — LCD, RTD Probe & Hot Rod Ignitor

This MARS CAMP control board kit replaces the factory thermostat assembly on Pit Boss 5 Series vertical pellet smokers to restore accurate temperature control and reliable ignition. The kit includes a bright LCD control board, a grill hot rod ignitor with fuse, a durable RTD temperature sensor, two waterproof meat probes and stainless steel clips so you have the main components needed to get back to cooking quickly.

How does this control board restore my smoker's temperature accuracy?

The included RTD temperature probe measures the smoker's internal temperature and feeds precise readings to the digital board for consistent control. The LCD shows the current temperature at a glance, and the board adjusts pellet delivery and auger timing to maintain setpoints.

• High-accuracy RTD sensor for stable temperature feedback
• Bright LCD displays real-time grill temperature
• Replaces Pit Boss P7-5.5/PBV5P1 controller models

Will the hot rod ignitor and probes work with my existing setup?

The kit's hot rod ignitor is designed for pellet grill ignition and comes with a replacement fuse for safety. Two waterproof meat probes plug into the control board so you can monitor food temp while the RTD handles chamber readings.

• Hot rod ignitor included with fuse for safe ignition
• Two waterproof meat probes for direct food readings
• Stainless steel clip mounts for secure probe placement

Is installation complicated and will parts tolerate high heat?

Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable swapping a control module; connectors match original Pit Boss harnesses and the components are built for high-temperature grill environments. The board and sensors are made with heat-resistant materials to withstand prolonged smoking sessions.

• Plug-and-play connectors to streamline replacement
• High-temperature resistant materials on board and probes
• Pre-tested units leave the factory to reduce installation issues

What cooking flexibility does this kit provide?

The digital controller supports low-temperature smoking and higher searing temperatures, plus nine additional stepped settings so you can fine-tune heat between 150°F and 420°F. Use the meat probes to track internal doneness while the RTD maintains the chamber temperature.

• Low-temp smoking mode for longer, flavor-forward cooks
• High-temp mode to crisp exteriors and lock moisture
• Adjustable settings across 150°F–420°F range

Who this is for: If your Pit Boss 5 Series vertical pellet smoker has lost reliable temperature control, failed to ignite, or you're replacing worn probes, this MARS CAMP kit is a focused, cost-effective solution. It suits DIY grill owners and backyard chefs who want a tested replacement that restores LCD monitoring, dependable ignition and both chamber and meat temperature tracking. A one-year aftersales promise and factory testing back the components, so you can replace the controller, probes and ignitor in one install and get back to smoking, grilling and roasting with predictable results.
