I’m a relatively new Traeger owner and have been inspired by some of the ideas I’ve read on this forum. I want to contribute something that I think will help others enjoy their Traeger more.
I’ve seen people say that their temperature probe isn’t accurate, and I’d agree. Calibrating my probe with a glass of ice water as the owner’s manual describes didn’t help. Here’s how I fixed it.
Atnormal elevations water boils at 212 F. I rolled my grill inside next to my stove, turned it on, and put the probe in a pot of boiling water. In the Settings/Probe Calibration menu there is an option for a manual probe offset. The key thing to know is that you’ll have to look at your probe’s temperature on the Traeger app on your phone. Adjust the offset on your grill until it reads 212. You won’t find this method in any manual, but it works great. My probe was reading high by 4 or 5 degrees, which is huge when it comes to pulling your meat off at the right time. Hope this helps.
