SECTION FOUR: OPERATING TIPS 

 

1) The Temperature Dial can be changed at any time to increase or decrease the cooking 

temperature of the Grill. The HIGH/HIGHER temperature settings are for Grilling. The 
MEDIUM/MID RANGE temperature settings are for Slow Cooking. The SMOKE setting is 
for Smoking and adding Smoke Flavor to foods being cooked. The SMOKE setting can also 
be used to “hold” foods at approximately 180 to 200 degrees F. 

2) 

WARNING! 

Your Traeger Pellet Grill should never be moved while it is hot. If you are 

transporting your Grill in a vehicle after cooking on it, make sure the fire is completely out 
and the Grill is 

cold

 before placing it in any vehicle. Never put water into the Firepot. It will 

jam the Auger. 

3) Your Traeger Pellet Grill is designed to operate with the Door closed. Cooking with the Door 

open greatly lengthens your cooking time. 

4) 

DANGER! 

Never add pellets by hand to a hot Firepot. This is dangerous and you may be 

seriously burned. If you run out of pellets and lose your fire while cooking, let the Grill 
completely cool and start again with the 

INITIAL FIRING INSTRUCTIONS.  

5) 

CAUTION! 

Make sure the Heat Baffle is properly seated on its locating brackets. The long 

lips of the Heat Baffle should be pointing down over the Firepot. If not seated properly, 
direct heat and flame could come up out of the Firepot and cause a grease fire in the Grill. 

6) When estimating cooking times, the outside temperature will be an important factor. If it is 

hot outside, it will take less time for food to cook. If it is cold, wet or windy, it will take 
longer. 

7) Digital Thermostat Control Functions: 
 

After selecting your cooking temperature (with the exception of “SMOKE”) the Auger will 
operate continuously until the selected temperature is reached. From that point forward, the 
Digital Control will cycle the Auger off and on to maintain the selected temperature until the 
Temperature/Dial is changed. When operating in “Smoke” mode, the Auger will cycle 

on

 for 

15 seconds and 

off 

for 65 seconds. There is 

no 

temperature control with the “Smoke” 

setting. This         timed cycle setting for “Smoke” is a factory pre-set recommended by 
Traeger Pellet Grills to develop a “Smoking” temperature of 150 to 180 degrees F. 

 

However you can change this timed cycle to suit your particular needs. Refer to the Wiring 
Diagram found near the end of this manual and locate the Smoke Adjustment. It is a switch 
inside a small hole on the face of the Digital Control to the right of the Readout. While the 
Digital Control is 

on

, use a very small screwdriver or other pointed object (a bent paper clip 

works well) to gently depress the switch. When you depress the switch, the Readout will 
change from a temperature to “P” followed by a number. The factory pre-set mentioned 
earlier is P-2. The setting range is from P-0 to P-5. The “P” readout will change each time 
you depress the switch. With all “P” settings, the Auger 

on

 time remains 

constant

 at 15 

seconds while the 

off 

time is influenced by the “P” setting. For example: A P-3 setting will 

result in an Auger 

on

 time of 15 seconds and an Auger 

off

 time of 75 seconds, an increase 

in the 

off 

time of 10 seconds from the P-2 setting. Each change in the “P” number -up or 

down- results in an increase or decrease of 10 seconds for the Auger 

off

 time. Increasing 

the number decreases Smoking Temperature. Decreasing the number increases Smoking 
Temperature.    The Traeger Service Department recommends a setting no higher than P-
4. Also, if you do make a Smoke Adjustment, the temperature on the Readout should be 
monitored. If the temperature is consistently below 160 degrees F. while “Smoking”, 

decrease

 the “P” setting because there is a risk of losing the fire in the Firepot.
