I’d recommend a temp monitor that has an alarm on it. I use a Thermoworks “Smoke X4”. It’ll let you adjust the hi / low temp to set an alarm off. A co-worker gave me a Traeger last week. I cleaned it up and smoked some ribs on it. Turned out great. I’ll probably donate it to my Buddy to keep at his cabin.
Thank you for making this video. It was very helpful.
You are welcome - thanks for watching

Mine has alarms but my wife turns the sound off - haha.. Nice re free smoker too!
Is it ok to top up during the cook or every time you want to add extra pellets you need to clean out the hopper first?
No - just pour more in as you need.
