Is this what the Pit Boss Grill uses for it's meat probe? ex: https://pitboss-grills.com/Shop-Pit-Boss/meat-probe-2pk

That's probably just a convenient, cheap, and robust connector to source instead of something more obscure. Grill probes are more likely to be a thermocouple rather than a thermistor as they can usually handle higher temp ranges.
