    controller recomendations

    I feel mine made a big difference, I was close to rolling it to the curb and let someone else deal with it, Now I love the way it cooks and it did not cost me 2K for a new one. Follow the web site to facebook and you will find the site full of owners and their experiences.

    IGNITOR ROD WONT HEAT !!!!

    If you go to amazon they offer a made in USA rod they tend to last longer just harder to find and higher cost.

    controller recomendations

    Savannah Stoker made me love my Traeger again really like the ability to set a smoke, then cook to temp and hold cycle then walk away. One thing you will notice is a lower consumption of pellets over the stock controller and being able to hold lower temps really adds to the smoke flavor of your...

    Help me

    My wife thinks of it as a health issue so even when I don't use salt there is a comment so either she wants me around longer or I don't have enough life insurance.

    2nd Traeger Flame Out

    Had the same problems with mine switched controller to a Savanna Stoker which will relight when temps fall and now I can run at 150 without trouble. When at lower temps the igniter will come on quite often to insure the pellets are still burning and so far has not failed. I also upgraded the...

    Rec tec vs Traeger

    I have a Traeger that we rebuilt with RecTec parts and after seeing the difference in quality we will be getting a RecTec when the time for replacement comes. The igniter/fire pot is a good example Traeger uses thin stamped steel went through 3 replacements in 12 years and hot rods that if you...

    Smoke Daddy Pellet Pro?

    I have gotten parts from them for my Traeger good prices great service. One thing to remember a lot of the hopper parts on many of the grills are from the same plant in China so much is interchangeable parts will be around for along time. Personally I would rather support the little guys out...

    Pit Boss 700FB .... considering PID .... need more info

    Can,t advise for your grill but I did install a Savannah Stoker controller in a Treager and it was a night and day change easy to install and it performs beyond my expectations. If you go to their Facebook page I am sure you can find info on your specific grill. I liked the SS controller over...

    meat mixer

    I have been on the fence about a mixer the more reviews I read the more I wonder if I really need one since I never do more than 12-15 lbs. Then I found a heavy nylon potato masher that really saves my hands from the cold meat and helps load the stuffer also.

    Spices

    I have been using the San Francisco Herb Co. great prices and super service. Was getting some from My Spice Sage but the prices were a bit high, now I can get a pound for what a couple oz cost and quality of what I got was equal. An example chipotle powder $11.05 lb vs $24.25 lb if you keep a...

    Meat Grinder: Kitchener (Northern Tool) vs Cabelas or LEM

    Cabelas Carnivore grinders are Weston with a few extras, when was in restaurant work I used grinders from a Kitchen aid to a Hobart floor grinder that would take 10lb hunks and all I can say is get the largest you can afford for what you will do. Myself I got a #22 Weston Pro and have no...

    Aluminium shavings dangerous ?

    Aluminum can cause health issues but for most it takes quite a bit of exposure that being said the new grinders are from China and I'm sure only new metal with no contaminates was used (wink,wink).. My only question would be why there was any wear since the parts are all clearance fit was...

    Stuffer vs. stuffer vote

    Hakka makes a drive but honestly it's to easy even with the small meat stick tube as long as you use liquid in your mix. I use mine alone and have no problems as for the amount left in the canister it is only about 4oz and makes a nice treat as you clean or breakfast the next day. Just a word of...
