Bought my Traeger Pro 575 three years ago as a display model at a State Fair and let it sit in my garage until now. The Traeger guy didn't want to tear it down so gave a great deal and a boat load of accessories. Wasn't sure about this whole smoker thing. Thanks to your video and my appetite for ribs I just now did the seasoning. Tomorrow I'll give her a try. Thanks!
Thanks Dylan. I just got my Traeger today and put it together and then watched your video for the first seasoning of the grill. Simple instruction without any long stories not related to anything I wanted to hear. Great video and the way they should be. Keep on smoking!!!
I do gun reviews. Saw the title and thought you'd come over to the good side! But grills are awesome too! My brother-in-law has one of these. Best burger I've had in my life!
Glad I came across your video thank you. I got mine pro 575 today at Home Depot for $599 couldn’t pass it up and now I got wait next week on my day off to break it in.
I did mine last night. I turned on the on switch before dropping the pellets. It didn't heat up at first but I stirred around the pellets and it started working. Guess the pellets jammed up or something. But it worked great and so did the app w WiFi.
I just got mine today. Love your video. Is it normal for the temp to drop during seasoning. I’m on the second phase which is letting is run 30 min at 450 but it’s taking a while for the temp to reach 450 because it keeps on rising and dropping. Is this normal?
Great video! You made this step easy and not long winded. Watched it 3 times probably in a short amount of time. Will be looking for connecting to wifi next.
Bro, I just got my TRAEGER 780, and like the man I am, fired it up, put my meats on and ……, well….., this isn’t my daddy’s old SMOKER! 😂. Your video walked me thru the entire “Prime” process, and now I’m good to go! THanks for your video brother
Dylan, Thanks so much for your great , easy to understand video. Got my 575 pro today and got real frustrated until I got onto your video. Thanks again !!!!!!
Great video mate - I have a question - I done the prime auger in my 575 but mine loaded a lot more pellets in it, (I didn’t know at the time) done the rest of the steps then the damn thing caught alight, after research I understand the pellets caught fire in the auger as it was too loaded, any idea why it’s doing that? Should I just manually throw a few pellets in there then ignite and starts the steps there? I’m lost, cheers 👍🏾
With older Traegers, the instructions say to leave the cover open during startup on the initial smoke setting. It also says to leave the cover open during shutdown. I presume this is no longer necessary?
thanks, I just got one, so I'm about to do the initial burn. I look forward to learning how to cook with this grill, and will check your channel for recipes in the future.
Same here. No smoke. Also there’s a conflicting information - the video says once the temp reaches 350, increase to 450. Manual says once it reaches 350 to run it for 20 minutes then increase to 450 for 30 minutes.
Thanks for the video. One question, why did temp get over 400 when your smoker was set at 350? I would expect it to be able to maintain much closer tolerance than that.
When you are heating the grill up it will overshoot. The grill is constantly stoking as the temp climbs. As soon as target is hit, it stops with the pellets, but it still is going to burn the extra it was dumping in to get the heat to rise. If you want to cook at 225 let the unit stabilize first and then it will remain around 225. When it comes to temps, most people make the big mistake thinking if a pellet grill sits at the same temp, it's the best thing. Nope. If you operate a stick burner, your getting different compounds off the wood because it has many different temperatures and levels of combustion off each stick. So if the underbelly of a stick has got flames hitting it and its beginning to heat the smoke level, wood scent, and smoke type is different than a stick that's fully black. I made sure my Lil Tex had a temp swing because down low produces smoke, up high produces sweet wood scent. If I went into the controls and set the P-mode to zero, the stability was there, but the flavor profile changes.
Any. I have a blanket on it which helps greatly but it looks pretty warm in the video. Still don’t get the temp being that far off. I understand how they operate
Thx, that helped so much w our new grill. Does anyone know how to stop the "Shutdown" process...we mistakenly started that cycle and couldn't find anyone anywhere, including the Traeger Forums that knows how to shut down the "Shutdown" and we didn't want to hurt anything, plus, I assume we will make that mistake again...ANYONE know how to stop the shutdown? ty :)
Newby here! Just got my 575 today!! Thanks for making it easy 😁
Same, I just my 575, so this is very helpful.
Im using mine for the 1st time in about 15min
Yeah same here I just turned mine on and primed it for the first time just now following this video..
@@weluvbry i did the same thing 3 hrs ago going like a champ now doing 2 slabs of ribs going works fantastic
Marry me?
Just received my first Traeger 575 Pro for my birthday and greatly appreciate the simple to follow videos to get this rig up and running!

Thanks for producing this, Dylan - you made the process easy to follow and the subject matter was exactly what I needed. Excellent video!

Thanks my husband and I are senior citizens and have tried several times to start our Traeger with no luck! Your video helped!
Thanks Dylan just got mine from Lowes with my military discount. Job well done.
Only thing you didn't do or mention, is ONCE it reaches 350 degrees, THEN you wait 20 mins. It's in the manual. But great video. 👍
Thanks for taking the time to do this, Dylan. The written instructions provided by Traeger weren't bad, but this just made it simpler.
I do gun reviews. Saw the title and thought you'd come over to the good side! But grills are awesome too! My brother-in-law has one of these. Best burger I've had in my life!
Thanks. Traeger also has a video but this is definitely more detailed. I'm ready to go!
Glad I came across your video thank you. I got mine pro 575 today at Home Depot for $599 couldn’t pass it up and now I got wait next week on my day off to break it in.
$599 - What city? They are 20% off by me at Home Depot but that still makes it $720.

Just got a used 575 Pro for $350 plus 4 bags of pellets and a front shelf. Looks brand new. They used it only a few times.
When I finished this procedure, I had ash all over the place inside....is this normal?
Just bought My Grill Today and this video was perfect to show me how to start the initial prime process 🙌🏾 Thank you this was perfect

Great video! You made this step easy and not long winded. Watched it 3 times probably in a short amount of time. Will be looking for connecting to wifi next.
Just went out and bought a Traeger couldn’t figure it out for the life of me thank you! And Boomer Sooner

I wish u would have told me when to put the grilling stuff back in before finishing the initial fireing
Just Bought My Wife one For Valentines. 😂👍🏼 Thanks For The Help.
Lol, my hubby bought me one for my birthday !!! I am the GRILL MASTER of our home too lol. Cheers to your lovely wife !!!🥂
Sitting here now in the last phase of start up! You made that so easy! Super helpful and didn’t leave any details out!
Dylan, Thanks so much for your great , easy to understand video. Got my 575 pro today and got real frustrated until I got onto your video. Thanks again !!!!!!
actually its Mike,Debbi's other half
ust got my 575 Pro today! This video was excellent. Very detailed and Dylan is very well spoken at a great pace! Thank you!
Brilliant. Just built my Traeger yesterday. Let's start grilling!
Perfect, quick, and easy guide. I appreciate it man!
Just bought a 575 today! I'm glad I've found you. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for the video. Just got my 575 and this video was very helpful, can't wait to start smoking and compare to charcoal!
just started my 780 for the first time today, thanks so much for such an easy and informative video! all the other ones out there sucked @$$! lol
Just got one for Christmas so going to do all this today thanks for your video
I'm interested in a Traeger grill, this was a good video to watch!
Thanks dude ! Went thru the whole process with your help. Only confusion was when the 30 min started at 450. When I set it or when it reaches it ? 😮
When you set it.
Saved me some reading and was very straightforward, thanks!
We did that to our new grill we just got and we followed your steps and our did not smoke
Why did the white smoke stop coming out? There’s plenty of wood pellets in hopper.
Thanks for the video, I was able to get my 575 broke in.
Dylan, your the best, thanks for the simple step by step instructions, 🎉 made it very easy, ready to smoke my first brisket , wish me luck 👍
got the same model today and set it up. Will be seasoning tomorrow using your video, thanks :)
Tyty. So informative. Just got this from qvc and was a bit nervous lol. You made it so easy. Again ty
Just bought my 575, thank you so much for this video!
What a short concise easy to understand video on how to set something up thank you God
Thank you so much. My 575 will arrive next week.
Hey it’s Danny McBride! Haha thanks for the tutorial especially for this model. Got mine today and this video was a god send. Great tutorial!
Mate this was a seriously good video.
Very well explained… thanks heaps 👌
Thank you Kenny Powers for the helpful information!
Why didn’t you mention that it needs to hold temp at 350 for 20 min as per Traeger instructions prior to increasing the temp to 450 for 30 min? 😮
Only thing left is to swap the metal pail for a greasebox !
Do I have to do the shut down cycle if I’m going to use it right away?
Nope
Thanks Dylan for the video mate. Easy to understand and I like how to just got right to the details. Picking one up next month.
Thanks man, excellent walk through. I'm soo excited to get smokin! First up? Baby back ribs
Grates in or not when seasoning?
Great job brother! Perfect info and no fluff.
Great video this made it way easier for me to set up much appreciated
Aren't you supposed to keep the lid open when firing? I heard they can explode
Just picked one up today. Very helpful, thanks!
Just got mine today. Can’t wait to get started.
I just won one of these and had no idea i needed to do thisQ thank you!

With older Traegers, the instructions say to leave the cover open during startup on the initial smoke setting. It also says to leave the cover open during shutdown. I presume this is no longer necessary?
so do you have to do this setup everytime you want to cook? if so, this is not for me.
Thanks man, I got a 780 yesterday and put it together and did this! So excited to try it out
Thank you. Very useful and straight to the point!
just got ours thanks for the informative video! gonna try and get it primed tonight!
Thanks for the video! This made it easy to season my 575
Just got mine delivered and thought, what do I first? Thank you, Dylan!!! Any first recipes you recommend?
My 575 is about 30 degrees off. Little silly when cooking. Should I try re-priming it? Any other suggestions?
thanks, I just got one, so I'm about to do the initial burn. I look forward to learning how to cook with this grill, and will check your channel for recipes in the future.
Great video!
Thanks man, this was helpful. Much appreciated!
Rockstar. Thank you. My 575 should be here next week and this was super helpful. You rock!
If it starts with OK it’s gotta be good. Thanks for the video Dylan, up and running like a Sooner RB 👍🏻
I just ordered this grill so this is definitely great to know. I appreciate you very much.
Just got my belated Christmas present today!!! Thanks for the info!
Awesome man! You are going to love it!
Are you supposed to leave the drip pan and everything else in there while it’s priming at 350 and 450?
Great video! Just got mine today. Very helpful!
Can you make a video on how to clean them out? I think I’m due for my first cleaning 😬
Just got this for Father's day.
I just got mine and this helped a lot. The video traeger did is just not real detailed
Hello good vid, do I need to season the grill with high temp oil
Just ordered this exact product, very helpful video.
Just got mine today. Thanks bro!!
Thank you this video helped tremendously, I have to see it for me to understand it.
Just joined the 575 family
The owner’s manual says that when you prime the auger you need to remove the dip tray, grates, etc. Do you actually need to do this?
I just got one today. Thanks for sharing
Did you put all the racks and stuff back inside before ignition?
Set mine for 350. It got up to 267, stopped and then the temp started dropping. Eventually I just shut it down. Have no idea what went wrong
Thanks made things very clear.. very helpful
Newcomer here. I know the video is 2 yo but do the new 575s startup the same way and timeframe?
Are you supposed to season the inside of the grill before doing all this?
followed your instructions but not get smoke, should redo inital priming
Same here. No smoke. Also there’s a conflicting information - the video says once the temp reaches 350, increase to 450. Manual says once it reaches 350 to run it for 20 minutes then increase to 450 for 30 minutes.
you forgot to put all the deflector and drip pan in and also the grate to burn off the oils......
Thanks for the video. One question, why did temp get over 400 when your smoker was set at 350? I would expect it to be able to maintain much closer tolerance than that.
Mine went up to 365 when set at 350. Maybe to do with the height of the hood on the floo?

@@Todd.T My Treager NEVER overshoots more than 15 degrees, even at startup..
@@mikehimmel5268 At what temp outside? My Traeger is two different beasts at 10F and 100F.
Any. I have a blanket on it which helps greatly but it looks pretty warm in the video. Still don’t get the temp being that far off. I understand how they operate
Thanks bro just helped me start mine up right now appreciate that
very helpful, Dylan. Just liked and subscribed!
Thx, that helped so much w our new grill.

Hey whats up man my auger put out a lot of pellets
Can't wait to see you start cooking! Enjoy the new grill and you should thank Sam once again...
