I have the the tailgater and just recently, the last 3 weeks started having problems. I set it to 375 and it hovers at 188. I vacuumed the tray(lol I thought I was the only one) but, will try cleaning the temp gauge. Thanks!
I have the traeger tailgater, and boy it’s been a bit of a nightmare. I will have it set at the lowest temp setting (180) and it will skyrocket to 400 sometimes. I’ve tried different pellets, I clean the ash everytime before use AND it’s on the highest P setting, meaning the longest delay in which the hopper feeds the fire. I am at a loss for new solutions, and think it’s pretty ridiculous to be on the lowest setting and be basically at a searing temperature.
Sorry you’re having those issues with your Traeger! That’s the opposite problem I’m always running into. My temps are always lower than I’d like. I’ll keep using my Traeger for awhile since it was quite expensive. But someday I’ll probably go back to a gas grill.
Oh wow! That’s completely opposite of what I’ve experienced on my Traeger. I’m always having low temperature issues. I’m not sure what’s causing your temps to go so high. Maybe it’s feeding pellets too fast or temperature sensor? Hope you find some answers!
I’ve had a Traeger for many years. It almost never works well. Traeger loves to blame it on the pellets and from my experience, it is rarely the problem. I’ve spent more time fixing it than I’ve cooked with it…literally! Let’s face it, it’s not a good product.
Here's my problem I cooked a rack of ribs for 4-5 on my Weber but my friend has a traeger pro 34 and it took literally 9 and 1/2 hours I don't know what we did I just kept bumping up the temperature and bumping up the temperature till something happened eventually at 350° setting it finally started cooking it. And his is a brand new unit.
@@jasonheesch609- I have a new 780 pro that I just got a couple weeks ago. And I think I’m having similar issues. Last night I did a 2 pound meatloaf that should’ve taken three hours at 2:25°. But it took nearly 5 and barely made it to 162° where I needed 165°. And the three baked potatoes next to it also didn’t get more than 170°. I had to put them in the microwave for a few minutes. I’ve only cooked on it, a half dozen times, and keeping it very clean, and have fresh pellets have been stored inside. Today I’m going to put an oven thermometer in there and bring it at the 225, and see what it says, and then kick it up to 450 in the same then contact customer service.

Mine just started doing temperature sky rocketing on the lowest setting

Had the same thing happen would be 50 degrees hotter then set temp

this video is not all that helpful. I have a brand new pro 34 and it has yet to keep a temp. I am going to return it.
