Morning all
I had purchased a Traeger Tailgater and got some good meat off of it until I realized that the temps would just go from low to high and it kept cycling that way for the 2 hours I watched it, I have heard now from 5 different Traeger tech support people and they ALL have given me different ways they say will fix the problem, well nothing did so I returned it to ACE, I recently purchased a Pit Boss 700FB and after playing with it last night I have it figured out, I think the smoke temp is a little high (180) but it does not move off of the 180 and I get a good amount of smoke every 2.5 mins, I have done Tri-Tips, Brisket and what I would have to say is the best smoked chicken I have ever tasted, it was so tender like cutting butter and the smoke smell when I warmed it up in the microwave was like smoking it all over again, anyways I am from Colorado and look forward to learning more about smoking on this site
Thank you all
