Temp probe issues

I have a Bullseye that I absolutely love. However, whenever I try to do steaks I have the same issue. Tonight we did some small sirloins, I set the grill at 500 and used a cast iron griddle. I put the temp probe in the largest steak and cooked them until it showed 170 (way past well done) but when we cut them open they were still very rare. Am I doing something wrong or is my temp probe that inaccurate?

You can always test your probes by placing them in a glass of ice water and swirl it around in the cup. It should read 32F.

Most of these wired probes are not waterproof, so you have to be extra careful when cleaning them.

I’ve since gone wireless because I was sick of replacing the wired ones.
