converting manual thermostat to digital

[bluffman2]

I bought another bbr79 and the manual thermostat is not to my liking as the other one is set up, what is necessary to convert to digital? is it as easy as unhooking the manual and putting (wiring) a digital thermostat box and thermocouple on it?
thanks for any help..
