Traeger Pellet Unit

[mercy]

I have a Traeger Pellet unit that originally used a standard "high,medium,smoke" thermostat.... not digital.  I purchased the newer digital thermostat from Traeger, installed it per directions.... now it won't cook at less than 350F.... way too hot for slow cooking and/or smoking..... Any thoughts out there as to how to fix this problem???  I have to assume there was a problem in the wiring directions, but how do I find how and what to change???  Thanks for any help from those of you who are much more experienced than I.....Mercy

There are some setting you can do called P settings. There should be a small hole on the face of the controller, thats where you will make the settings change.

Let me see if i can find my sheet on them.

To Nepas.... and others....

I finally took my Treager apart 2 days ago, and, together with a newly downloaded manual with wiring diagram.... I found the problem.  There are 2 SETS OF BLACK WIRES in the unit... one to a set of Red & White and the other to a set of Orange & White..... as I got to looking and reading what they were connected to.... I had them reversed.... I changed the connections, tested the unit for about 3 hours, at various temperatures.... and.... VOILA!!!!!  It works perfectly..... advances to and maintains whatever temperature setting I chose...

I intend to use it today, while the NFC Game is on between the Atlanta Falcons and San Francisco 49ers (GO NINERS!), to smoke some baby back ribs....

again..... Go Niners!!!
