Pro Series 22 smoking temp questions

[erhard58]

Hi all,

just signed up and also just bought a Pro Series 22, like yesterday . So far am really liking it!
A question regarding smoking temps. At what point/temp setting is the 'smoking' supposed to stop. Am smoking salmon at the moment, using the recipe that came in the booklet with the grill and it says that the first 30 minutes at the 'smoking' setting, then 45 or so minutes at 225. It is still 'smoking' at 225.
Yesterday, I did burgers. First at the 'smoking' setting, then High, but at High, it did not 'smoke'.
Appreciate any feedback, thank you.

Welcome to the forum! Congrats on the Trager! I'm new to smoking as well, however my understanding is the grill smokes up to 250 degrees and basically a convection oven from 255 degrees +.

I haven't tried Salmon yet but my wife's been wanting to so please let us know how it comes out for you.

Hi,

thanks for your reply, that makes sense.
It would be nice if Traeger had some proper instructions/manuals, especially when it comes to these kinds of things. Well, I've not seen any, unless I've been looking in the wrong areas.
