A lot of powder from pellets

[traeger860]

They make the bucket as well. Bit expensive all up, and I have 3 of them! But is does what it says it does.

When you pour the pellets from the bucket into the hopper, does the dust make its way back through the filter?

I do it slowly and shake the bucket a bit and have never had a problem with pellet dust in the Traeger.

Is this normal?

This clogged up the auger and became solid.

I had to chip it out ...

It’s about 4” tall and 10” wide

Had same issue when I purchased Costco (online) Traeger pellets. Pellets were triple the normal length and and bag had excessive saw dust. When burning, noticed yellow smoke billowing out of pellet bin. Returned to Costco!
