You should be able to. I would look at getting a new probe though...

A pyro is a pyro, as long as you have the gauge head, lead wire and the probe you'll be fine.

The key is to make sure the thermocouple used (probe) is the proper "Type" for use with the gauge. Most (not all) use a Type K and tehy usually interchange between sources without any issues.
