The grill produces very little smoke, even at low settings; food lacks smoke flavor.

Safety first: Normal operation can vary; this is typically not a safety issue.

• 1. Verify temperature:
  • Use a secondary thermometer to confirm actual cook chamber temperature.
• 2. Try different pellets:
  • Use Traeger pellets with stronger smoke profiles (e.g., hickory, mesquite).
• 3. Use lower settings:
  • Run the grill on SMOKE or lower temperature settings for more visible smoke.
• 4. Check RTD:
  • If the grill runs hotter than displayed, the RTD may be misreading; replace if needed.
