In order for me to start up the traeger do I have to prime the auger every time? Or can I just set the temp on the controller an hit ignite to start it up? Thanks in advance.
Although, if you vacuum the pellets out of the firepot while cleaning. You will have to put back in what you vacuumed out. I just take out of the hopper to do this.

I don't even do that, it just takes the "ignite" cycle a little longer but it still works without adding pellets back.
But either way don't hurt nothing.

I clear the augur and vacuum out the augur shaft (as well as the fire pot) every couple months or so. I’ve had trouble with dust build up interfering with ignition. After clearing and vacuuming the augur shaft and fire pot the augur must be primed.

I use it only to sift... I use HD buckets for storage. Sift before you add to the hopper.
I've done a test with that, half full of Traeger pellets, half full of bear mountain... Traeger left a serious amount of dust in the bottom compared to Bear Mountain, (and I suspect a lot of other brands are also less dusty too)
