Ironwood 885, Char-Griller Flat Iron Premium griddle, InkBird Sous Vide
The GFCI will trip whenever it sees current leakage. It is extremely sensitive, a design feature that reduces the chances of electrocution; but one that can be extremely frustrating.
Based on your observations, it appears that one of the wires connected to the controller is causing the issue. Loosen the control panel so that you can access the wires. The following video will show you how.
The current leakage could be in any of the wiring; but likely candidates are the hot rod, auger motor, and induction/blower fan.
By disconnecting each wire individually and then testing the grill, you should be able to determine the issue. Fortunately, replacement parts are available at a local ACE Hardware, or online.

Your Pro 34 is not a lemon, you just are not doing a proper startup. Try to prime the auger first before igniting the grill. That makes sure the fire pot has pellets before the hot rod begins to heat up. Priming the auger is especially important if the fire pot has been cleaned. If you do not prime the auger, the hot rod will overheat and time out. Do not blame Traeger for your lack of understanding of proper operating procedures.
When you come to a forum like this, come with a humble, questioning attitude. You might just learn something. If you come to rant, no one will respect you. Every forum member has faced challenges in our journey since purchasing a Traeger. However, most have learned to deal with those challenges and produce some fabulous meals.
