    Traeger 572. Dead to the world

    Thank you so much for that advice. I found a Facebook group and learned a lot! Lots of upgraded controllers, knock offs, etc. out there. I took their advice. Since I've taken good care of it I was very happy to be as good as new for less than 40 bucks...

    Traeger 572. Dead to the world

    No lights on the panel, nothing. Checked the voltage on the drop cord. Good. Fuse has not blown. Led on the back of the controller lights up, but that is the only sign of life. Unplugged everything coming from the controller and only plugged in the power, exactly the same.. I'm assuming I...

    New traeger.... Need a Lil info...

    If all else fails I will upgrade in the end, but hopefully it won't come to that. I forgot mention there was no wind to speak of and the ambient temps ranged from around 55 to 70. I even did the second cook inside a three sided metal shed to make sure a breeze wasn't causing the problem...

    New traeger.... Need a Lil info...

    Thank you guys for the info. I measured the chimney height and it was 3/4 inch. Tech support said that was correct. They said they have changed the startup procedures from the way the manual says. They are sending new instructions to startup. I'll try that and see how it goes next time I...

    New traeger.... Need a Lil info...

    So my wife gave me a new smoker after my last stick burner rusted into a heap and she had it hauled away..... This a traeger 572 and my first experience with pellet smokers. After the initial burn in. I started a couple butts on 225. I watched the temps oscillate from 175-305. After 3 hours...

    Meat from Food Lion (If you have one near you)

    The verdict is in. I tried out the vac sealed steak a couple nights ago. Started with a 1.4 lb choice ribeye. I put a light coating of oil on it, then seasoned it with fresh ground sea salt, cracked 5 peppercorn blend, and a touch of garlic. I seared it over a screaming hot grill for just a...

    Meat from Food Lion (If you have one near you)

    So I took the little one out this morning to do our grocery run. Food Lion had $1.49 pork butts so that was my first stop(they were .99 last year, but that is as cheap as I've seen em this year). I'm outta Q so it is time to smoke something. Then I hit lowes foods cause that's the only place in...

    Educate me on brisket

    I've smoked those little flats, and done pastrami outta the cured ones. Ya'll know I like to live on the cheap side so I picked up a 10 pound one today(about 2.50 a pound(just select grade)). So educate me on what I bought. Is this a packer brisket? If nothing else i'll grind the whole thing for...
