Check the ball bearings."Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf

Originally posted by Green Monstah View PostI had my first smoke last weekend, and I kept it short and sweet. Two whole chickens and a pork loin. I cut the loin in thirds before smoking, vacuum sealed them, and put them in the freezer. The chickens were both really good.
Something that surprised me: the thermometer temperatures were 50-75 degrees cooler than the temperature I set on the smoker. I later learned that the temperature I set is for an approximated temperature of the grate in the center of the cooker, and that you have to tinker with your temperature controls, dampers, and placement of the meat to achieve your results.
I was honestly a little disappointed in that aspect, but the food was great, and cleanup was easy."I can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a bull's a$$, but I'd rather take a butcher's word for it". - Tommy Callahan III

Originally posted by Drunk Tank View PostMine was the same way. It isn’t a calibration issue, I checked with a boiling water test. I think you can change the calibration on the controller so it matches the door thermos. Honestly though, it never really bothered me. I use a thermoworks smoke with 2 grill temp probes, one on each side of the grate. I really like the way the 1500 cooks. However, I wasn’t using it very much and I sold it and picked up a small Traeger. So I have come full circle. I have no desire to cook for the masses any longer and the small Traeger is perfect for me and my family."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

Traeger is launching a new line of grills today. Big new feature appears to be that the new grills will all be equipped with WiFi compatability.Last edited by All-American; 03-15-2019, 11:57 AM.τὸν ἥλιον ἀνατέλλοντα πλείονες ἢ δυόμενον προσκυνοῦσιν

I guess I've had my Traeger for 6 or 7 years now. Recently it's been emitting a shrill squeal when the auger first starts up. I'm not sure if it's the auger itself or the motor or something else, but the noise goes away after a few minutes. I emailed Traeger, and got an ESL reply that said there's no procedure for maintenance, but they can sell me new parts. Anybody else get the shrill noises from their augers?

So when it starts to get cold...I don't keep any pellets in the hopper. That fixes the issue. It has to do something with the weight of the pellets on the auger when it's cold.
I start the Traeger up with about 2" of pellets I the hopper....once it gets going I fill it halfway and monitor. No longer having any issues.
