Just picked this up from goodwill. 100 bucks. Any recommendations on how to clean these?

    Hey! It looks like you posted an image!

    If this is a photo of one of your cooks, maybe share the recipe and techniques
    used, as it’s almost guaranteed one of the first questions you will be asked!

    *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!

    I’d just get a liner and a new bucket from Home Depot. Would also recommend having a small vacuum to suck out the ash after every 2-5 uses.

    Ive lined those with foil for years. You can also get drip trays on Amazon for 10-12 bucks, or get the exact traeger replacement for 40$ if you aren’t too handy.

    You can scrape off some of that gunk on the spillway tray but I just throw down aluminum foil so I don’t have to clean it. Just get a shop vac and vacuum all the ash out including the fire cup thing (the name of it is escaping me lol)

    Hell of a deal if it works.

    The real question is what fuckin goodwill do you shop at ?!

  7. What a deal! Just got the same one a few months ago for like $380 new.

    If you want to replace the baffle it’s only $30-50 on Amazon. Otherwise you can just cover it with the traeger brand drip trays for a few bucks.

    Otherwise, since it’s pre-owned I would definitely do a test run with the baffle and grills off so you can watch and see if the auger is working properly and of course if it’s lighting up!

    Grab the manual online and definitely make sure to clean it every few cooks!
