Traeger Ironwood 650.
Purchased September 2020.
So this has developed in the last couple of cooks.
The smoker is running at a higher temperature than is set. It is not a matter of an increase in temperature being out of control and rising uncontrolably, nor is it a matter of an unclean smoker.
I will set the temperature for 225 and the Traeger will hold the temperature in the high 250’s. Drop the temperature to 200 and I am in the 230’s. To keep my cooking temp at around 225 I have to drop my set temperature to around 190.
I have tried opening the lid to drop the temperature and seeing if it will hold at the lower temperature, but no, the temperature will climb and hold.
I used two different additional gauges to confirm the displayed temperature as correct. The temperature sensor is clean, the grill/firepot is clean. The outside temperature is not terribly cold (Pacific Northwest).
Before I call customer service I wanted to ask if any of the community have experienced something similar. Anyone? Anyone?.....
