    Traeger Pro 34 - controller reading 100 degrees higher than my own probe

    I bought a refurbished Smoke Daddy, non wifi, with the adapter plate. You are supposed to drill it in at the top with an included screw as it's not an exact fit but as my grill is new I was too scared to do that so I just put on a bunch of Gorilla duct tape. With yours being 11 years and best...

    Traeger Pro 34 - controller reading 100 degrees higher than my own probe

    I forgot to update! Too many things going on that I lost track of this thread. They sent me a survey some time after the support phone call asking how they did and I blasted them on it. This prompted them to call and email me back right away asking what was wrong. I spoke to them and told them...

    Traeger Pro 34 - controller reading 100 degrees higher than my own probe

    To answer the questions: It is consistenly off 100. When its warming up or cooling down for example my probe says 280 and the built in controller says 380. It will change together as things go up and down. I have not tried to start it up from cold to see what happens. I do know at low temps...

    Traeger Pro 34 - controller reading 100 degrees higher than my own probe

    I couldn't get Traeger to budge on the first call. Right now they are saying everything the unit is doing is correct and the other tools I am using to verify are wrong. Every attempt to convince them of this they had a reason for why they are right and I am wrong. I even tried to explain I...

    Traeger Pro 34 - controller reading 100 degrees higher than my own probe

    I had a feeling things were under temp after a few cooks were taking a lot longer than expected. I turned it on today and put my own probe right next to the built in one that is hooked up to the controller. For every setting and reading the Traeger is giving me my own probe is reading 100...

    I just bought this thing for $15 and have no idea how to use it (a smoker I was told)

    Went outside to go use it this morning, now that I know what the pieces are... the water pan is full of tiny pin prick sized holes from being rusted out. Water runs through it like a sieve. I cant smoke now?

    I just bought this thing for $15 and have no idea how to use it (a smoker I was told)

    As I really dont know anything about charcoal.. does charcoal have a maximum temperature? Like if I turn up all 5 burners on my grill to max and let it sit with the lid closed that thing will be 500 or 600 degrees. Since charcoal is either burning or not burning do the temps just keep going up...

    I just bought this thing for $15 and have no idea how to use it (a smoker I was told)

    The simple part is what is making it more complicated in my head! I read the whole manual and know the steps but as I have never smoked anything before it seems harder than it should be. On my propane grill I have the adjustment knobs so I can turn burners up or down or on and off, I can...

    I just bought this thing for $15 and have no idea how to use it (a smoker I was told)

    Thanks for the manual link. So this thing seems pretty straight forward then, coal at the bottom, water in second pan, meat on top, cook. As there are no vents or air holes, just light it up and go? Since you can't adjust the air how do you have it maintain a proper temp and not just burn...

    I just bought this thing for $15 and have no idea how to use it (a smoker I was told)

    With this one having no bottom to it, and none of the vents or valves all of the videos have, I guess I just light it up and hope for the best? All of the fancy people on YouTube talk about all kinds or regulation and how it keep it going for 8 to 12 hours. This one, no? Just turn it all on...

    I just bought this thing for $15 and have no idea how to use it (a smoker I was told)

    Hello! Starting in the new forum as I am new and I just bought this thing from someone in town for $15 and I do not know how to use it as I have never used a smoker before myself. It is open at the bottom and there are no vents anywhere. A lid, two bowls of some kind. I figure for $15 if I...
