We learned this lesson over the weekend: When you switch it over to shut down mode, let it run until the fan turns off. We got a clog or something between the fire chamber and the main chamber. It started dropping temp fast and the smoke backed up into the pellet hopper. Then it gave way all at once and nearly blew the lid off!

Green Mountains allow allows a person to mistakenly turn the machine off by more than one fashion before it goes thru the fan mode.  That'll get a fire in the tube or over heat the bottom wiring.   If you try to correct the problem by turning the machine back on, it has to go thru the startup anew and can over-fill with pellets.

Here is my high temp prior to turning down to smoke ribs for 3 hours.  Yesterdays dinner with ambient temp at 74 degrees.

It's a TIKKA thing..., you may not understand.

Had mine about a month now and am thinking of selling it.  I love, love the way vegetables turn out, but haven't been blown away by things coming out much better than other cooking methods.

@Russ McDonald. How is the Famous Dave’s BBQ sauce? Have never seen it before. Their cornbread mix rocks.

Which pellet brand are you using?

Right now I have the Traeger brand pellets.  It isn't that the flavor hasn't been good, it's more of a, "Is it so much better to justify a second grill," type of decision.

Well I can say there's a noticeable difference between the lumbering pellets I bought and the traeger. The traeger was good with it's own pellets but there was a huge noticeable upgrade when I switched. Might be worth a shot before ditching it all together  :twocents:

Only 2 ?  :chuckle:  I use all 3 of mine regularly, propane, pellet, and charcoal. All are worthy.  :drool:
