    Extra parts when assembling my Z grill

    I have looked at the assembly instructions and the inventory of parts for my new Z grill over and just can't find anything out about this part. It looks like a shield for the burner pot so I just placed it around it but I want to make sure I did it right. Also, the grease pan/shield was...

    Best pellet smoker around $300

    My traeger is on the fritz and the wife has me on a $300 budget. I've found a few pellet grills/smokers in that price range so ur opinion on which of these is best is appreciated. The priority is to use it as a smoker for butts & ribs but it would also be nice if it could grill steaks & burgers...

    Need advice on a Traeger with an Ortech digital contoller

    I inherited my Traeger from my Dad last summer. It did well until it got cold outside. Then it struggled to get close to 200 degrees on the low (smoke) setting when the temperature outside was below 40. If I moved it to medium then the temperature would go over 300 degrees, which is just too...

    My Traeger is making noise

    My Traeger is making noise and I think its coming from the auger turning. Is there a way to lubricate the auger? Or do I just need to plan on it dying soon? Is there a way to just replace the auger? Or should I plan on buying a whole new Trager grill? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Just inherited a Traeger & have questions

    My dad gave me his old Traeger pellet smoker but he had no instruction manual to go with it. My smoking experience is with a Masterbuilt Electric Smoker which uses chips and you can set the smoker temp. He told me that if you set the Traeger to smoke (low) then the smoker temp is usually around...

    A-MAZE-N Maze Smoker tray goes out but LIZZQ Pellet Smoker Tube stays lit

    I bought both an A-MAZE-N 5X8 Maze Pellet Smoker tray and a LIZZQ 12-inch Premium Pellet Smoker Tube. I use them both in my MES 30 electric smoker that Jonok helped me modify so airflow is not an issue. The LIZZO smoker tube stays lit just fine and burns all the pellets up to ash. However the...

    Cooking time on Smoking 6 pound pork loin

    This pork loin (not tenderloin) is a monster. I know I should pull it out when the internal temp reaches 145 degrees but how long do you think it will take to get to that internal temp if I set my MES 30 at 220 degrees? I just need to have a good estimate of when to put it in since I am taking...

    Smoke tube won't stay lit in my MES

    I've been smoking meat in a Masterbuilt Electric Smoker for several years. I saw a smoke tube on Amazon and decided to give it a try. Instead of spending the big bucks on an A-Maze-N smoke tube I choose to save money by purchasing the LIZZQ Premium Pellet 12 inch Smoker Tube. I then went by...

    Need answers to some smoking basics

    I became a newbie to this board and to the smoking hobby when my in-laws gave me a Masterbuilt Sportsman Elite electric smoker from Cabelas this past Christmas.  I am a bit overwhelmed and confused from all the info I have got off this message board over the last few days so I'm hoping someone...
