Hey guys i have a traeger pink pig pellet smoker with the older controller. The leds display kinda shot so i decided to upgrade it. Looking for opinions
Treager pro controller upgrade. With 2 meat probes $230
Smokedaddies. Controller. $270
Savannahstokers controllee $270
Prices are in canadain
Both after market controllers come with fan. And motors and stuff treagers doesnt. Any insight would be appreciated
 
I bought a traeger 34 series early this week and am waiting for delivery and ordered a pellet pro PID for it.  Its gonna go on as soon as i get it and start assembling it.
 
I'd probably go with an Ortech. If you really want more features, then next in line for me would be SS.

While the Pellet Pro's hold rock solid temps, I've read many complaints that they do not produce much smoke. However, I've seen several occasions where the owner, Dennis, has been happy to accept return on the controller if you're not happy for any reason so there's little risk for giving it a shot.

Would you be interested in selling the pro controller your taking out?
 
I bought the pellet pro. Very easy to install and use. I occasionally get a little bit of smoke coming out the pellet hopper so I may need to upgrade to the new fan and auger motor to fix that problem. I also have a rec tec mini which operates perfectly right out of the box
