    Traeger pro 780 disappointment

    Get you a kettle or a webber smokey mountain for flavor. Or a what I started out with a propane vertical box smoker is use wood chips or chunks in it and it gives great smoke flover also super easy to control the temperature

    There might be that much because I have been putting up burnt peices back in the hopper sobi don't waste fuel. But I'm thinking ill just start running unburnt fuel in the 560 and use the peices on the kettle mixed in with new charcoal.

    Only mod I am doing is the charcoal grate. I add 2 tent steaks to ot to keep the smaller peice from falling thru. I noticed a big difference in the amount of un burned charcoal in the ash bin after i did that. Was mostly just ashes only a few tiny pieces of unburnt coals.
