    I was thinking about doing a high temp test with the cap closed down to see what it would do. I just threw together a quick chicken thigh and polish kielbasa smoke to see how it cooks. Its running between 157 and 164, smoke looks great, a steady smoke out the stack and holding great temp 9

    That I understand, I see you need the temp swings to produce the extra smoke. That being said My two steaks are on my searing charcoal grill

    Treager Pro Controller

    I tend to believe OEM techs to some point, I work with some really awesome ones. Yes I do trial and error stuff all day long. Just never thought I needed my profession to figure out my grill. (Lmao) Traeger said to set this at that I did. WHO KNEW? I was looking at a true PID controller just...

    Make that 430, new record high. This is crazy, I set the gap to what they told me. Thank you so much for your help on this. Crazy thing is after what happened last weekend they said to open as high as it would go. I guess that's a big NOPE

    Treager Pro Controller

    I almost did or should of done that when e9when to hell. Good news I decided to throw some taters on high to see how it would heat up, once again it barely creeped up to 300. I started closing the cap down as I watched the temp. It actually hit over 400, and climbing. I have the cap set at 1/4...

    I deal with PID control temp controllers all the time, i am a Maintenance Mechanic with a plastic company (30 years in my career field) I agree this has me stumped as well. As far as checking the grill temp with another thermometer i was using a Bluetooth temp unit i just got, it was only a few...

    Treager Pro Controller

    Do you have any idea what else to look at if the new controller and temp probe does not fix the temp issues? Auger not delivering the right amount of pellets to maintain set temp is my thoughts, after talking to Traeger about this possibility they said there is no test to check the auger motor...

    Treager Pro Controller

    I forgot to mention Treager rep did get back to me after my blowup back to them over this. Short version they are sending me a new controller and a new RTD temp probe. I have read many post on here about the DIY things to do to help with the temp swing issues. My biggest issue and or problem...

    Treager Pro Controller

    It is approximately 1" to 1-1/2", I was told by Treager support to set it up like this when I had issues after i first got the grill. Treager is now telling me to raise it as high as the supplies bolt will let me. I questioned this also What do you know about where it should be set?

    Treager Pro Controller

    My temps are way lower than my set temp, anywhere from 30 to 50 if not more with this new pro controller. I set temp at 275 and it was only getting to 172. I am not sure what you mean by a downdraft hood? Any pictures would help? Thanks for the replys.

    Treager Pro Controller

    So I tried my Treager this weekend with the new Pro controller installed. Description on their sight says to keep temp plus or minus 15 degrees. I call BS on this, my old controller kept better temps then this piece of crap did. Set it to high and grill temp never got over 332, I smoked two...
