    HUGE Problem with Ribs on Traeger Bronson 20 pellet smoker/grill

    That is good news. I recall receiving an error on my Pit Boss and the instructions said to leave it unplugged for awhile. Sure enough, it corrected itself.

    HUGE Problem with Ribs on Traeger Bronson 20 pellet smoker/grill

    There should be a line fuse on the controller board, but you will need to pull the controller to see/find it. Otherwise, you have a dead unit and you should contact Traeger about it.

    Smoke issues

    +1 for trying a different pellet. Stick to your smoking temps/times and try mesquite pellets. I find them to be the strongest flavouring.

    Rec Tec RT700 question

    Yeah, kind of unfortunate. I've dealt with numerous Chinese firms, purchasing product for my business and it is always the same: First shipment is great, then it goes downhill from there. It is clear these firm's margins are so good they can put up with the duds they receive.

    Rec Tec RT700 question

    Of course. Pricing for replacement parts made in China would be so much cheaper, hence the immediate door replacement for a cosmetic scuff made by another poster in this thread. Case in point, I had to get a new controller for my PB. A new one was shipped out and they didn't want the faulty...

    Does anyone know if Rec Tec builds their own products or are they made in China? Just curious...

    Butcher paper question

    This. They would probably sell you a roll for cheaper than what you can get it retail. I buy rolls of butcher string from mine for a lower price.

    Be careful bro, you may end up going through more pellets than you think you would. These machines are addictive....

    Interesting. Looks like I just found a new pellet supplier.

    Timberline 850 model comparison

    I think China is getting really pissed off at North America, and it is beginning to show.

    New Yoder YS640S with Q VIEW

    Congrats on the Deere Skid Steer. Looks like a nice solid unit. Heard a lot of positive things about them. Oh, and the meat looks pretty good too.

    Louisiana Grills CS680

    So, I have a chance to get a used CS680 - only a couple of years old. Does this unit have a true PID? Thanks, Mark

    Used Traeger 124 Professional -- thoughts?

    Well, considering new Traegers are up there price wise, YMMV. Check the obvious; holes, rust spots. If it has been sitting for that long, the chute may be rusted. The pellet cup would probably be toast but check it anyway. Get him to fire it up and then start at $150 and go from there lol.

    $100 steal. Is it worth upgrading the controller to a PID?

    $$$. Think Big Chief. Basic design and gets the job done, provided the plan is cold smoking. I'd probably throw in a small muffin fan to circulate the smoke a bit and regulate the exhaust.

    $100 steal. Is it worth upgrading the controller to a PID?

    If I had that I would go the cheap route by snagging a used stove element and manual temp control. Throw in a wired temperature monitor and you're done.

    Pellet grill (Traeger) = less smoke flavor?

    John, I recently experienced the same results as you did when I swapped out the stock controller in my Pit Boss with a PID. Results were next to no smoke flavour at all regardless what temps I was running it at. Was turned off so much that I swapped back the original controller - at least I...

    $100 steal. Is it worth upgrading the controller to a PID?

    Looks like a well used unit, but for $100 I would have snagged it too. If there is one thing I learned about these, its if it isn't broke, don't fix it. I swapped out the stock controller in my new PB smoker with a PID thinking I didn't want to deal with the issues other people had. A short...
