Squirrel wood artware Digital Control Board Kit for Pit Boss Austin XL, Classic 700 & Lexington P7-540 — Probes & Igniter

This Squirrel wood artware digital control board replacement kit renews your Pit Boss pellet grill controls, temperature probes, and igniter for reliable, plug-and-play operation.

If your Pit Boss Austin XL, Classic 700, Lexington P7-540, Tailgater 340 or compatible Whiskey Still has been losing temperature control, failing to ignite pellets, or showing erratic readings, this kit supplies the main control board, new probes and a longer igniter to restore consistent performance. The pack is engineered to fit the listed Pit Boss models (not compatible with Pit Boss vertical pellet smokers, refrigerator grills, or other brands) and focuses on easier installation, improved protection against shorts, and more accurate temperature sensing.

How will this kit improve my grill's temperature control?

The replacement board offers nine cooking temperature presets from 180°F to 500°F with finer adjustment steps, plus dedicated smoke feeding modes. That lets your grill maintain steady heat across a wide range of cooks and helps reduce temperature drift you may have experienced with a failing controller.

• Nine cook temperature settings adjustable in 25°F or 50°F increments
• Smoke mode with multiple pellet feed profiles (P0–P7) for low-and-slow control
• More consistent hold on target temps compared to many original controllers
• Clear W/LCD display for easier monitoring

What protections and electrical specs does the replacement board include?

This upgraded controller includes added short-circuit protection to reduce the chance of controller burnout from ignition rod shorts. A built-in fuse helps prevent damage and avoids tripping GFCIs in many fault situations, and the board uses standard household input/output ratings for safe integration.

• Input: AC 120V, 60Hz (pins 1–4)
• Output: AC 8V, 200mA (pins 5–8)
• Integrated fuse and circuit safeguards to resist ignition-rod shorts
• Designed to reduce controller failures caused by short circuits

How easy is installation — do I need special tools or wiring experience?

The kit is designed as a true plug-and-play replacement: remove the original board and match wire colors on the plugs to reconnect. Basic hand tools are sufficient and the color-coded wiring makes swapping the board straightforward for most DIYers comfortable working with appliance electronics.

• Simple color-matching harness: orange for fan, red for auger, purple for igniter, black for power in
• Plug-and-play connectors reduce wiring errors
• Only standard hand tools required for board removal and mounting
• Comes with replacement parts: control board, probes, igniter, and fuse

Are the temperature probes and igniter durable and accurate?

The included probes are made from food-grade stainless steel with quick response sensing to monitor meat and chamber temperatures. The 21-inch hot rod igniter is sheathed in stainless steel for faster, longer ignition, and the assembly is sized to work with the supported Pit Boss model list.

• Food-grade stainless steel probes for safe, fast temperature readings
• Quick-response probe design to detect temperature shifts in seconds
• 21" hot rod igniter, 200W/120V, stainless sleeve for longer service life
• Igniter includes fuse to reduce nuisance GFCI trips

Who is this for? If you own a Pit Boss Austin XL 1000 (PB1000XLW1), Classic 700 (PB700FBW2), Lexington P7-540, Tailgater 340 (PB340TGW1), or a Whiskey Still and you’re seeing erratic temp behavior, ignition failures, or a non-responsive control display, this Squirrel wood artware replacement kit provides the board, probes and igniter to get your unit back to steady performance. It’s designed for grill owners who prefer a DIY replacement with improved short-circuit protection, clearer temperature control, and durable replacement components. Note: not compatible with Pit Boss vertical pellet smokers, refrigerator grills, or other brands.
