    Thanks! I recently purchased a Traeger smoker. It's amazing how easy it is to repair.

    Traeger grills are so easy to repair. Just take off the control panel, then take off the hood from the pellet hopper, then unplug the wires, unscrew the cover off the firebox, unscrew the fire rod and pull it through, make sure the auger is turning and the pathway for the pellets isn’t clogged. Put your new parts in, screw everything back down, put the control panel back on, plug it in, turn the control to “smoke”, make sure the fire rod is glowing and the firebox is getting warm, turn it off, put more pellets in, turn it back to smoke and make sure it’s smoking, then sell the damned thing on Craigslist for 1/10 of what you paid for it and get a Big Green Egg like you should’ve done in the first place.

    That was educational, thanks. I have a Jr too. I upgraded mine, adding firebricks in cook chamber and Ortech controller. Both have really improved my cooks. I move mine around, so wheels and maybe a shelf next.

    Break and save the motor? Never once seen that happen lol. The gears in the motor give first

    Im pretty sad. I spent a ton of money on my traeger and have had it for two years and have already had problems like mentioned here and of course it conks out as you spent money on meat, seasoned it let it set over night and just about throw it on the grill. You guys have to do better if you plan to charge that much, hell, get one for half the price and play the same game.

    That does not look anything like a Treager.
