a large pellet grill has less than 4.5 cubic foot of air capacity while the fan produces around 110 cfm that changes the air in the grill aprox 25 times per min. Normal rate of convection of 200 degree air through a 3in pipe is less than 1 cfm now granted a firebox pulls air in which will push...

I changed the controller to a Savanna Stoker, sealed my door and installed a latch, a larger auger motor(no more jams), a Rec Tec ceramic igniter system, a muffin style fan with an infinity switch (speed control), a ball valve on the grease drain, a silicone port for my temp leads, the...

I have one on my grill and while I think it helped it was done along with other mods to slow the smoke being blown out of the cooker too fast. It is one of those things you might like and the next ten people think it is a waste myself when you look at the fan on a pellet smoker it moves over...

It is a oxide coating to prevent rust harmless just looks ugly when it comes off in fat. Mine was concentrated around the center hole and I just toss that away you can use a fine emery cloth and dress that area off just remember it rusts quickly and needs a coat of what ever you use. I asked...

I love my SS 4.5 It has been over a year and no trouble. You might also consider upgrading your ignition to the ceramic one offered by rec tec it gives a better ignition source and since air is sent around the igniter its self it cleans out the fire pot built up ash and the 10ga stainless fire...

I installed a Savanna 4.5 in my Traeger and love it the step cook program really is a great feature and with auto relight flame out is just a bad memory

Dave the grinder was not at fault it was the aftermarket die that was a mess Weston went out of their way trying to fix the issue

By the lack of others not responding I decided it had to be something out of the norm. So out come the Mics and dial I found the hole in the die used as my primary grind was not only off center but also not straight and out of round being harder it just ate the pin. Well the bad thing is I now...

amazon sells the probe inserts installed it in my Traeger over a year ago still works Weber #85037 Replacement Grommet for Weber Smokey Mountain Cookers

I am curious about others auger pin wear and if there might be a stainless replacement for the OEM black steel pins. Have called Weston about it been real good and sent me a new auger every time but can't seem to call it normal wear and tear. Are others finding the pins a normal replacement part...

I placed a sheet of plexi about 2in larger in dia and about 2in lower (used the four mounting screws) to make the air move around the sides not straight down

Savanna Stoker makes the controller I use if you check them out on Facebook you can see many of the features and other advantages gotten in many different makes of grills. Ceramic ignition, 10ga stainless fire pot, and stainless hinges that support the hood and fit better (at least than mine did...

When you get a stuffer remember volume is not in weight of a meat product but in water since water is a constant volume/weight then you won't get mad when your 15lb stuffer can't hold 12lb of sausage

Your plate will protrude past the housing and when the nut is tightened that will seal the seat on the auger bushing so no food gets past the auger. as for clearance or end play there really isn't any a plastic, fiber.or brass bushing rides on the sealing face of the auger and keeps the cutting...

I have the Savanna Stoker controller in my pellet grill just did a 16lb brisket using the built in multi step program at 185 for 8hr then 265 for 8hr till 203 internal temp then hold at 150 worked perfect and you can easily program it to cook what ever you want even a 8hr large whole chicken
