Favorite Portable Pellet Grill

[pegmikef]

We’ve talked with Traeger again. There is a button that used to be on the external panel of the thermostat switch. They’ve now preset it and it’s behind the panel. If anybody is interested PM me and I will forward you the instructions from Traeger on adjusting that switch. I’ll be honest I let my husband talk with Traeger about this and I just received the email. Something about adjusting how fast the pellets are released into the auger. They called it a P switch. If I eavesdropped on the conversation correctly, the switch was preset to 2 and it would probably be better at 4.

Yeah that was one of the first fixes they had us try. Did NOT fix the problem. It actually doesn't slow the feed rate (so there are less pellets), it just introduces a pause before the pellets are released or after (I forget). We tried all the p options and had the same problem. On the scout, the button is still on the panel, but covered with a sticker. Then we were told not to use the grills because of a fire hazard . . . we are still dealing with them.

As those two mentioned Traeger units appear to be the best for me (w/ size and weight considerations) I'm unhappy to hear these updated reports.
However I am tickled pink to not have to deal with these issues ...

Thank you for being the trial dummies (said love- inly).

Well darn it! I thought maybe we had a solution. I still have faith in Traeger that at some point we will find of solution or a fix or a replacement. Seems like the old PTG grill was fine. I wish we had room for A bigger model but we don’t.

I wish I was mistaken but the original dedicated Traeger company is not the same as todays Traeger.
Like many before him he (Traeger) sold the rights to his name to others.

Well we tried out our new-to-us GMG Davey Crockett. Tony smoked and then seared ribeyes on it and WOW! Amazing! We love it!

Try something other than meat.
Clean off any excess grease...I did apple crisp last weekend. Have also done mac & cheese, sweet potato halves, baked beans, corn bread, sweet corn on the cob, etc

Isn't the food fantastic!! Try some mac and cheese and do some spam at the same time for an appetizer. I also like asparagus and or broccoli on the smoker.

Pretty good or y’all would never have known. LOL!!!

We bought them already boiled (while you wait) at a lobster shack. Peeled them back at the camper
On the smoker about an hour on low heat, just smoke, then a final half hour at about 275. Basted with melted butter every half hour
Moist and tasty. Just a hint of smoke. Still plenty of lobster flavor
We plan to pick up several to go before we leave in a few days
