I had an older one which had the button in the same spot which you could access to add more pellets for extra smoke, it would say p-1, etc when you pressed it, I wonder if this is the same idea for this one. I have a newer one which is a couple of years old which is like the one demonstrated.
Can you give me a follow up on this? I just bought the Pro 34 yesterday. I am going to put a thermometer in the cover today and do my burn in. Because I am an old school cooker, I have more trust in the thermometer. I want to make sure I am cooking at the Temps I know. I would love to calibrate the controller right off the bat.
iam trying this now ,, my traeger reads to hot ,, i want to lower the temp ,, the opposite of what you are doing,,, ps did this work for you and did you figure out if this is the p setting controlle
So, I just got off the phone with traeger. They said this new controller doesn’t have the P settings. That was on the older version and that this new controller is better to where it will recognize the temperature in different outside temps. He also said if you start the smoker the wrong way it will make your ambient temperature be way off. Should be +/- 15 degrees.
@@n8tivepride84- what’s the “wrong way” to start the grill. I have a brand new 780 pro which has a different controller and I am getting temps about 30° lower than what I said it at The manual for my grill says you’re supposed to push the igniter and close the lid where I see in many of the older videos for smokers. They insist that you’re supposed to keep the lid open initially until it begins to smoke. Is that what you’re referring to about starting it the wrong way?
@@jeffellis6544 I was told opposing things initially. To leave lid open, close lid. It was getting a bit ridiculous. I was still getting these temp swings. I got the controller replaced, the internal thermometer. But once they replaced everything, I just went with starting with lid closed until I see white smoke rolling out, then put my temp to the setting I want. It’s been working great ever since.

I have the same problem, except the controller display shows higher temp than what the real temp actually is.
Having the same exact problem
How did you calibrate your round prob thermostat

@@jeffellis6544but yes leaving the lid open I guess was the wrong way for mine.
I have the same controller and mine doesn’t have that button
My directions say it has to be in smoke mode to change. There is 5 pause settings each button push goes up one setting to make it run cooler
What model do you have?
Something tells me you know about process control
