Temp for traeger

[ftculver]

Hey I'm trying to keep the trigger at 180 which is the setting and it doesn't go below 225 do I have a problem

Why would you want to smoke at 180? Basically, a lower temp just means a longer cook time.

You need to adjust ur p settings. Someone will comment. I can't remember if higher is hotter or lower.

I don't think so. I have my Traeger set at P 3 but use 225 for most smokes. Some time if I am ahead of time for dinner I may set down to 180. You are not going to be exact, outside temp. will vary you actual temp. Also are you going by Tenp. Guage on top of unit?
