As someone who lives in the midwest, the amount of grilling I do fluctuates widely, so even though I've had my Connect for a while, it hasn't gotten a ton of use. I've maybe used it ten times. Generally its worked well. Then, tonight, I was slow cooking a lamb shank. All was going well until it got to about 125 degrees and then the probe freaked out. It started reading as high as 375 and then would drop to 119 and then bounce back. I would adjust the position and it would level out, but then a minute or two later it would freak out again. I finally pulled it and switched to an instant read thermometer to finish my grill. Now the probe won't read at all. I'd expect the probe to last longer than 10 uses.
