First run of my Tailgater and I’m smoking a spatchcock chicken at 375° to 165° IT. Fine for the first 30 minutes now temp is dropped to 270° and continuing. Thanks in advance.

    Hey! It looks like you posted an image!

    If this is a photo of one of your cooks, maybe share the recipe and techniques

    *What seasoning did you use?

    *How long did you cook it, and at what temperature?

    *Did you use any special tricks or techniques?

    Traeger on!

    So the temp went down to 250° and then gradually rose back up to 375°. Is that normal? I had a big GMG smoker in the past that was pretty consistent until it shit the bed one day.

    That’s a big drop, I wonder if there was a gap in the auger where there were no pellets or something ? That seems way too big to be a temp swing. When I had my Traeger it could swing 20 degrees but that was about the furthest it would.
