Tbgrepts PID Wi‑Fi Control Board for Pit Boss Laredo 1000 — Replacement Part 80051, Dual Probe & Fully Digital PID

Tbgrepts PID WiFi control board is a drop-in digital replacement for the Pit Boss Platinum Series Laredo 1000 (Part #80051) that restores smart temperature control, programmable probe support, and remote Wi‑Fi management.

If your Laredo 1000 pellet grill is drifting in temperature, using too many pellets, or has lost its smart control functions, this Tbgrepts replacement PID control board offers a precise, modern restoration. Engineered to match the Pit Boss Platinum Series fit and connector layout, it replaces the original part number 80051 and brings a fully digital control panel with Wi‑Fi connectivity and dual probe capability.

How does this control board improve temperature accuracy?

The built‑in PID algorithm continuously adjusts auger feed and fan speed to hold target temperatures within a tight band, so you get steadier cooking conditions. Instead of the grill hunting widely for temperature, this board smooths output to reduce spikes and dips.

• PID precision keeps temperatures within approximately ±5°F when stable.
• Temperature range covers 180°F to 500°F for smoking, roasting, searing.
• Dynamic auger and fan correction reduces overshoot and undershoot.

Can I control the grill remotely and monitor meat temps?

Yes — the smart fully digital panel supports Wi‑Fi control so you can adjust settings and watch probe readings from a smartphone. The unit includes two probe ports and a dedicated programmable meat probe button for quick target setting.

• Wi‑Fi access lets you change setpoints and monitor progress remotely.
• Two meat probe ports allow simultaneous monitoring of food and ambient pit temps.
• MPC button and knob make on‑grill probe programming fast and intuitive.

Will this part fit my Pit Boss Laredo 1000, and is it easy to install?

This board is designed as a direct replacement for Pit Boss Platinum Series Laredo 1000 grills using part number 80051, matching mounting points and electrical connectors. Basic hand tools and attention to grounding and connector seating are all that’s needed for installation.

• Forms a like‑for‑like replacement for Part #80051 on Laredo 1000 models.
• Uses the original harness locations and mounting holes for straightforward swap‑out.
• Installation typically requires only a screwdriver and 15–30 minutes of time.

How does the replacement board affect pellet usage and cooking efficiency?

By optimizing auger pulses and fan behavior, the PID controller reduces unnecessary pellet consumption and maintains more consistent heat. That means less fuel waste and a more efficient cook, especially over long smoke sessions.

• Smarter auger control lowers pellet waste during steady states and transitions.
• Consistent heat avoids repeated recovery cycles that consume extra pellets.
• More uniform temperatures help produce even doneness and better results.

Who is this for: Grill owners of the Pit Boss Platinum Series Laredo 1000 who want to restore or upgrade their digital control capabilities. If your original control board failed, if you want tighter temperature control, or if you want Wi‑Fi and probe features restored without replacing the entire grill, this Tbgrepts PID Wi‑Fi control board is built to bring those functions back quickly. It’s suited to weekend smokers, barbecue enthusiasts who value temperature accuracy, and anyone who prefers remote monitoring and programmable probe use over manual adjustments.
