As you can see it’s been running on high for over an hour, got just over 200 degrees then came back down. The main dive in the green line is when I opened it

Green is ambient temp, purple is meat temp, blue is target temp

Not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if something is broken? My parents gave it to me and it supposedly worked last time they used it. One thing that seems odd to me is all the smoke is coming out of the box where the pellets go, not where the meat is

    *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!

    Smoke should not be coming out of the pellet box, you may have a jammed auger. This could be a fire hazard.

    Not normal for it to not reach temp after an hour. My little tailgater will get to 300F in under 15m.

    Consider replacing the igniter. Look up the model and you can probably find it on YouTube. Amazon usually has the parts

    I wouldn’t trust the Meater. Overpriced junk in my experience
