Traeger grills just will NOT smoke at temps much above 200 degrees. I have to stand by my grill continually in the summer to keep opening and closing the lid to let the heat out. That also lets the smoke out. I also have turned the grill off and on to try to maintain the temperature at 180 degrees where it smokes best and cooks low and slow. It's less of a problem in the winter months. Then I find myself setting the temperature higher turning it from low to medium and back to maintain the temperature I want.

Traeger grill get to hot on smoke

If you're cooking when it's hot outside, it's hard to maintain low temperatures. In the heat of summer, I have to tend my grill continually opening and closing the lid to keep the temperature down to my cooking temp of 180. That, of course, lets the smoke escape. If it gets too hot when the temperatures are moderate, i.e. 60s and 70s, the augur may be dumping too many pellets into the fire pot and need realigning. I suggest you contact Traeger customer service at http://www.traegergrills.com and see what they suggest.

Coals are smouldering but they are not getting hot. getting a lot of smoke but temp not moving up. top and bottom vents are open all the way.

If you are rting to use the Egg as a grill instead of a smoker. The coals will heat up quickly if you raise the lid and leave it open. The way you were trying to do it is for smoking or baking not grilling. Leave the bottom vent open until the coals are really hot, then damper it down a little.

I hop this helped you and Happy Grilling. Thanks for choosing FixYa.

Have charcoal grill/small smoker. burned the meat in the small smoker. Do i put meat on the grill side and use the small smoker for charcoal and wood chips only? my grill did not come with a manual

It depends on whether your trying to smoke the meat or grill the meat. You can't do both at once.
If you want to grill the meat, don't even fool with the smoker part. Put the charcoal in the grill side, light it and allow it to get white hot, before putting the meat on to sear it on both sides first, before moving it to a cooler part of the grill to finish cooking to your likeness.

If you're trying to smoke meat or whatever, you use only the smoker side for heat and smoke. By, usually using some type of hardwood, like Oak, Mesquite , Pecan. etc. However, the meat or whatever you want to smoke, goes on the grill side (No charcoal required under it), because smoking is a low heat (200 - 225 degrees F) slow process. Any where from a couple of hours up top 8 hours, depending on what and how much you're smoking. It's often referred to, as "Low & Slow."

Hope this helped you to better understand how a combination grill-smoker works. Once you do a little receipe research and get the hang of it, you'll really enjoy it.

Should my traeger be 350 smoke and med it over 400? My friend said it's burning to hot is there a adjustment ?

Your question was rather confusing, but the generic answer for smoking any type of meat. poultry or fish, is 225 - 250 degrees F. Any hotter, you've gone from smoking to grilling. Smoking any type of food is "a low & slow process."

The adjustment for maintaining a certain temperature with a smoker is by opening or closing the air intake damper(s) Closing the damper(s) slows the intake air flow to the fuel and it burns slower and cooler. Opening the dampers does the opposite.

Hope this helped you. Please let me know.

I never used a smoker grill when smoking do you put charcol in the side box and grill

In the side box. And the food to be smoked on the grill. Remember to keep the grill's hood/lid closed while smoking. Smoking is a low heat (225 - 250 Degrees) slow process. I always call it a "Low and slow process with big rewards."

Enjoy!!!
