Hi All,
I have a Pro-34 had it roughly 2 years. I have been fairly happy with its performance (I am a first timer).
Here is my question-recently when I begin the start up the heat display comes up at over 400(degrees)-the fan will turn on and after a few minutes the smoke will exit the chimney. It seems to remain (mildly warmish). I do clean the grill out about the end of a run of a whole bag of pellets. Is it the interior thermometer that I need to replace? I went online to Traeger and spoke with someone, but they just send me links to click on without any real direction on the diagnosis--any similar issues for anyone? is this simple fix or is my Traeger toast?

any guidance would be appreciated. Ronald in Houston
