I have an older model Traeger Big Tex. What is the proper way to shut the grill down, this model does not have a shut down cycle

Thank YouShutdown cycles just stop the auger and run the fan a while to burn up the remaining pellets. If you don't have a shutdown, maybe just go to the lowest setting for 5-10 minutes before turning it off I'd guess.
The goal is to leave as clear a firepot as possible for the next cook.
Which controller does the older Big Tex have on it? Don't think I've ever seen one of those.
