    Favorite Pellets

    So far we have tried Lumberjack, Bear Mountain, and Pit Boss. BM and LJ cooked up nicely while the PB competition tinged everything red (possibly from cherry woods) BM and PB are stocked close to me but I have to drive about an hour round trip to get LJ from Rural King, if we are going that...

    Need advice on a Traeger with an Ortech digital contoller

    You might consider upgrading to a digital controller. Very happy with the digital controller in my 34. I believe this is my controller on Amazon. My readout is usually spot on for what its set with maybe an occasional 10* swing.

    Need advice on a Traeger with an Ortech digital contoller

    Would you benefit by getting a blanket to help hold the heat? My Pro 34 has a controller that looks similar to the Ortech and I have a blanket for cold weather. Not really sure who makes my controller but it looks similar to what I googled for Ortech.

    Do Different Brand Pellets Produce Different Amounts of Ash?

    Sorry for the delay. A month later and I finally got a chance to use the smoker again. When I opened it up to clean I noticed A LOT of ash in the pot, more than normal and this was not the first time using these pellets. We store pellets in the bags in our garage and once open they go into...

    Shear bolt for Camp Chef PG24ZG

    For my Traeger it’s a 6-32 bolt. Waiting for it to show up in the mail at the moment. Successfully cooked burgers yesterday with a cotter pin in its place for now. We ordered a replacement on Amazon

    Traeger Pro 34 Shear Pin

    Well I went ahead and used it that way so we could cook some burgers. All worked fine. The motor attaches to the end of the auger but then does not get anchored to any sort of framework. It just sits there and self stabilizes and turns the auger. If the auger jams then the motor will spin then...

    Auger Stuck

    Did the OP have any luck with this? Just had to deal with a stuck auger myself. Once apart I was able to back the auger out then pound a 1/2 inch drive long extension through the shit to break it all free. Once cleared out I use the auger as a a scraper to clean it all up.

    Traeger Pro 34 Shear Pin

    Went to fire up the Traeger today and clean it first. Last smoke I used it I probably had an auger fire starting as it was rolling smoke from the hopper which is why I wanted to get a good cleaning in. Well I cleaned out the hopper and vacuumed it the best I could then went to start it to...

    Do Different Brand Pellets Produce Different Amounts of Ash?

    Thanks for the replies, yes once I tear into it I will let the collective know what I find. I did look at the fan and did not see anything out of the ordinary with it. I know the hopper did not run dry of pellets. It was full when I started and periodically I will check the hopper since it...

    Kirkland Wood Pellets

    Google indicates that Kirkland are made by Pit Boss. If you have a Lowe's nearby you can get a 40 lb of PB competition blend for $12. Less if you are a military vet and take advantage of their MIL discount.

    Do Different Brand Pellets Produce Different Amounts of Ash?

    Over the weekend I smoked a pork butt at 250 for about 9.5 hours. Somewhere in the last hour it started billowing smoke from the hopper so I likely started having an auger fire, not totally sure yet. I suspect that my firepot is quite full of ash which likely contributed to the problem. I...

    Problems with my new ZGrill 1000

    I just had this with my Traeger 34. I cleaned the pot before cooking yesterday so I know the pot had zero ash to start with. We were just finishing a 9 .5 hour smoke when we noticed it. I will tear it down in the next couple days to see if I can figure out if the auger was starting to catch...

    My butt is on the smoker

    The bark looks great and even though we wrapped in paper it still softened up a bit more than we wanted. I think the next will be no wrap to try it out

    My butt is on the smoker

    Butt hit 200+ and is now in the cooler. Forgot to tell Mrs SA to turn up the temp so it ran at 250 even after being wrapped. About 9.5 hours for a 7 pounder on the smoker.

    My butt is on the smoker

    Redoing the pool pump area while we smoke the butt. It was just a mud pit and we decided to put a paver patio area in to help control the mess. In digging it out I found a 4x6 concrete pad under the muck. Gonna add another 32 SF of patio block around it. Maple tree in the area that had terrible...

    My butt is on the smoker

    Sorry for the lack of updates. Been working on the yard as Mrs SA has been tending my butt. Delayed stall with this one. Hot about 175 or so when she wrapped it. About 180 now.
