Are you sure you're waiting long enough? The way it works is that it shuts the auger on and off for designated times. You have to wait the designated interval (up to 135 seconds of inactivity). You can adjust this on some models as shown here: http://tipsforbbq.com/Definition/Traeger-P-Setting

SOURCE: I turned off my grill

Whenever you finish using your Traeger it is always best to lift the lid and turn the controller down to the smoke setting and allow the temp to drop for a few minutes. This will also slow down the delivery of fresh pellets into your firepot thus starving the fire of fuel.Once the temp drops below 200 deg F than shut off the controller. If you have any wind blowing remove your Traeger out of the draft of the wind and the fire will go out on its own.

SOURCE: My Traeger (BBQ070) will feed the pellets, but there is no ignition to burn the pellets.

Be sure check the fuse behind the control board when pellets auger in but do not ignite.

SOURCE: I have a traeger bbq 100 that has worked great for 3 years, but now it will not get hot enough. The auger turns properly, so my only thought is that it is not turning fast enough to feed the proper am

I changed the biscuits on mine, and it got hotter

New to Pit Boss. Do you cook on smoke or set the temp? We set the temp and there is no smoke.

I have a Traeger, not a Pit Boss, but assuming they work on the same theory, you generally want to smoke at 225-250. The "smoke" setting is usually much lower than that (for smoking cheeses and such). Once you set your temp, your auger will feed pellets into your fire box on a timed cycle determined by your heat setting or thermostat. So you'll actually only see smoke every once in awhile.

Traeger grill not smoking

This is a common complaint about Traeger grills. Some people have resolved it with smoke pipes which contain pellets that smolder during the cooking process.

Others use different pellets than Traeger pellets but they void their warranty when they do. For me, Traeger pellets seem to put out enough smoke at the low temperatures I use (less than 200 degrees) but if I get above 200, the smoke goes sway.

When I cook pork shoulders, I try to keep the temperature at 180. In ideal conditions the Traeger will fluctuate between 160 and 200, averaging 180. If I can maintain this low-slow cooking temp-speed, I get a good smoke ring and decent smoke flavor.

If I get above 200, I lose much of the flavor but usually have a smoke ring though not as intense as at the lower temps. There are lots of conversations about this on blogs at the Traeger website and at the Pelletheads website.

When grill is off, pellet feed keeps running

Sounds like a short in the wiring harness. You probably should contact Traeger at www.traegergrills,com to see what they suggest.

Sounds like you've got grease in the bottom that's catching on fire. Take the grill apart and clean out the bottom of the barrel. You'll probably need a shop vac to clean out the ash, too.

Pellets keep feeding. cant control temp.

Are you trying to grill or smoke? In ether case, once the pellets ignite and the temperature you want has been reached, the switch should be turned to off. That should stop the auger pellet feed.

Also, are you using Traeger Pellets. They are the only one designed for this grill/smoker. If you're using heating pellets for a pellet stove, that also would cause that problem

If you've lost your Owners Manual, here's a link to it in a downloadable and printable pdf format.
