Traeger Pro 22 temp swings/accuracy

[Teal101]

I have had a pro 22 for a few years now and it has been a good cooker. I have noticed all my cooks seem to get done quicker than what most people say it should on this forum and other places on the net. I recently got an Inkbird monitor and have noticed some insane temp swings. I know its supposed to he plus or minus 15* which it can do at 225*, but at 250* it has shot up to 286* and on 275* I have seen 306*. It is difficult to cook any higher than 225 as the temps are way too high. Ive debated getting a Savannah Stoker controller replacement to try and get better temps. Has anyone had success with their controller or has anyone solved the crazy temp swing issue with the factory controller? My controller is the digital display with two temp probe ports.

Highly recommend the Savannah Stoker. My temps on my Pit boss 820 are 100% right on now Check out their Facebook users page for real-time user experiences. Great help there as well.

+1 on the Savannah if you're set on keeping the grill. I have one on mine and it's +/- 7 degrees.
It takes some tuning seasonally to keep it dead on, but once you get your head around the parameters it's pretty easy. I only say this because some Savannah users claim "drop in and go be awesome" use, while mine has been a smidge temperamental. Once you get it dialed in, it's pretty amazing how well it works. The FB page is awesome for information.
