Meatender Trapezoid WiFi PID Control Board for Pit Boss Lexington, Classic & Austin XL — Dual PID, App Control

The Meatender Trapezoid WiFi PID Control Board replaces legacy Pit Boss controllers to restore precise temperature control, smart app access, and improved cold-weather performance for compatible Lexington, Classic, and Austin XL pellet grills.

Designed as a direct replacement for the Pit Boss trapezoid-shaped control modules (MPN: 80015, 80115; replacement part # CAT-02-PG-AMP), this Meatender board brings modern PID temperature management and WiFi connectivity to compatible Copper Series grills. It is engineered to fit Lexington 500, Classic 700, and Austin XL 1000 models; note it is not compatible with Onyx Edition controllers. The board focuses on steady heat, remote monitoring through the GrillirG app, meat probe support, and improved startup behavior in cold conditions.

How does this control board improve temperature stability?

The Meatender board runs dual PID algorithms tuned for different grill volumes, which reduces overshoot and keeps the cooking chamber within tighter temperature bands. That means less pellet waste and more consistent results across long cooks.

• PID control with 1°F increment accuracy from 145°F to 500°F
• Two PID profiles optimized for small and large cooking surfaces
• Reduced temperature swings for longer, steady cooks
• Lower pellet consumption due to fewer thermal spikes

What smart features can I control from my phone or watch?

Connect the board to WiFi and manage grills through the GrillirG app to change temp setpoints, adjust smoke output, set timers, and monitor probe temperatures. With the app you also receive diagnostic icons to quickly identify issues like auger or fan faults.

• Remote temperature and timer control via GrillirG app
• Two meat probe inputs with target temps and alarm notifications
• Smartwatch control available through the app’s Plus Membership
• Real-time diagnostics for auger, fan, RTD probe, and hot rod

Will it work in cold weather and multi-user households?

The board includes a Winter Mode that shortens heat-up time and stabilizes temperatures when ambient conditions are low, which helps get to cooking temp faster in freezing weather. Family Device Sharing lets multiple users monitor or adjust the grill, useful during social gatherings or when a second cook wants oversight.

• Winter Mode for faster start and temperature stability in cold temps
• Family Device Sharing for collaborative access via the app
• App-based alarms and status updates to keep everyone informed
• Two probe inputs to track meat and chamber simultaneously

How do I confirm compatibility and install the replacement board?

Before buying, visually compare your controller to the trapezoid shape used by Pit Boss Copper Series models; Onyx Edition controllers use a different form factor and are not compatible. Install typically requires removing the old module and securing the new board in the same mounting points; consult your grill manual or a qualified technician if you’re unsure.

• Compatible with Pit Boss Lexington 500, Classic 700, Austin XL 1000
• Replaces MPN 80015 (legacy WiFi) and 80115; part # CAT-02-PG-AMP
• Not compatible with Onyx Edition—verify original controller shape
• Professional installation recommended if you lack electrical experience

Who is this for? Grillers who own compatible Pit Boss Copper Series pellet grills and want to restore or upgrade smart control, reduce temperature swings, and improve performance in cold weather will benefit most. It’s suited to backyard cooks who value precise PID thermostatic control, remote monitoring from phone or smartwatch, and collaborative access during large gatherings. If your original controller is trapezoid-shaped and you need reliable replacements with modern app features, this Meatender board is a practical upgrade.
