Meatender WiFi Gen 2 PID Control Board Replacement for Camp Chef 24in/36in Grills — Dual PID & App WiFi

If your Camp Chef horizontal pellet grill’s controller failed or you want more accurate temperature stability and remote control, this Meatender Gen 2 board replaces original units on many 24" and 36" models. It delivers two PID profiles for consistent heat, WiFi connectivity via the GrillirG app, smoke-level customization, diagnostic alerts, winter mode, and dual probe support—while being explicitly incompatible with Woodwind Wifi 20 and XXL vertical smokers. The board fits a broad list of Camp Chef replacement part numbers and restores modern smart features for everyday grilling and low-and-slow barbecue cooks.

How does the Gen 2 PID controller improve temperature consistency?

The dual PID thermostat on this replacement board continuously adjusts pellet feed and fan speed to hold setpoints within narrow tolerances, reducing wide swings and wasted pellets. Two separate PID programs are tuned for different chamber capacities so both 24" and 36" grills perform optimally.

• Maintains 160°F–500°F in 5°F increments for flexible cooking.
• Two PID profiles optimized for smaller and larger chambers.
• Fewer temperature spikes and reduced pellet consumption.

Can I control and monitor my grill remotely with this board?

Yes — connect the controller to WiFi and use the GrillirG App to set temperatures, check grill status, and receive alerts from your phone. The app supports device sharing so family members can monitor or adjust cooks from their devices.

• Remote temperature adjustments and real-time monitoring via app.
• Device sharing for multiple users and simple family access.
• Push notifications for probe targets, timers, and system alerts.

What safety and diagnostic features are included?

The controller continuously self-checks and displays error icons for common issues like ignition timeout, RTD probe failure, or over-temperature conditions—helping you identify faults fast. These diagnostics protect your cook and speed troubleshooting without guesswork.

• Visual fault icons for high temp and ignition problems.
• RTD probe monitoring and probe-failure alerts.
• Smart diagnostics simplify repairs and maintenance decisions.

How does it support advanced smoke control and cold-weather use?

The board offers 10 adjustable smoke-level gears and Low/High smoke presets so you can dial in mild to bold smoke without hardware mods. When temperatures drop, Winter Mode accelerates heat-up and helps retain steady chamber temperatures for reliable cooks in cold conditions.

• Ten smoke gears plus Low/High presets for precise smoke intensity.
• Winter Mode for faster starts and improved cold-weather stability.
• Two food probe ports for monitoring internal meat temperatures.

Who this upgrade is for: Grill owners with compatible Camp Chef 24" and 36" horizontal models who need a direct replacement controller, want WiFi remote control, or seek better temperature stability for smoking and grilling. This board is ideal if your original controller failed, you want app-based monitoring and alerts, or you cook in cooler climates and need Winter Mode. Note: Do not install on Woodwind Wifi 20 or XXL vertical smokers—those models are not compatible.
