Re: I keep getting an error msg. When it finally starts,...
Hi Terry,
This may help... ...from Treager's site FAQ
"My Unit Goes Out On Smoke
- Open the cooking chamber lid and remove cooking grill, angled drip pan and U-shaped firepot cover. Look and see if there is a large accumulation of pellet ash in and around the firepot. If there is, it will need to be cleaned out. Do this ONLY WHEN THE GRILL IS TOTALLY COLD! Replace U-shaped firepot cover, angled drip pan and cooking grills and resume cooking/smoking process.
- If this does not remedy the problem, please contact the Traeger Service Department."
From my personal experience, cleaning out the pellet ash is needed when the smoker will not hold a high temperature regardless of the thermostat setting.
In your case, the fire pot may be packed with pellet ash and pellets from the auger jamming.
Good luck.
