Poor Temperature Control

[Hampsong]

I recently purchased a pro 780 and during the last part of a brisket cook the grill temperature is floating around 20 F to 30 F above the set point. Any thoughts?

My Traeger built in RTD probe is off, it is not accurate. Is there a way to calibrate it?

Temperature consistently 25+ degrees low

Yep! Only one probe just doesn’t cut it for me, I usually use at least 3. Yeah. I still have to get an upgrade from my meater one prober. And I don’t want to downplay anyone’s frustrations with the Traeger probes. It does feel like for the price you should get good probes......but then...

they are off from each other by 25F. Is that possible?

SET TEMP AND ACTUAL TEMP WAY OFF​

This may have been asked before but I am new to the group and not sure how to search the topic. We bought a pro 575 a few days before the 4th and cooked a brisket for our family party on the 4th. It hit around 180 and stalled for hours upon hours so I became suspicious and grabbed 2 oven...

IM ABOUT DONE WITH THIS THING​

I have had it with this damn grill. I can not get the temp to be consistent nor get to the setting it is meant to be at. it’s July 4th and I was supposed to cook a brisket. Well looks like the oven will have to cook it because this damn thing won’t get it right. I have owned it since 2014 and...

Temperature consistently 25+ degrees low​

Hello everyone. I have a Traeger Silverton 620, purchased from Costco about a month and a half ago. Since I purchased it, I noticed the actual temperature inside the grill is 25-30, and sometimes 50 degrees LOWER than what the controller/grill is set to/thinks it’s at. This is NOT a temperature...

FireBoard​

New FireBoard for a gift...plugged it into the Prime Rib and now it shows how far off my Traeger grill temp setting is from the actual temp!

How far off is your RTD?​

I am fairly new to Traeger's and pellet grills in general. I have been BBQ's for a long time and decided to give this a try. I have had my 780 since last summer and so far have been very happy with it. The only complaint I have (as many do on here from my reading) is the internal temp. of...

Mine runs about 15 to 20f below set point. I bought a FireBoard and use it for actual temp.

my Traegers has always been off fluctuated lower then the temp on the controller . i read many times this is a problem with all pellet grills so i bought a digital meat thermometer and rely on that not the controller temp . but if your worried their is a way to speed up the auger if you want try to get it more accurate . my top temp on my MESA 22 has always been 430-438 not 450 on the controller and sears just fine . just reversed seared some tri tip a week ago had a nice smoke ring after 45 minutes at 180 on 2 1/2 pound with competition pellets . so dont worry about it buy a meat thermometer .
