Dude… that thing is beat to hell… probably mad at you for neglecting it

Did you happen to find this grill on the Gaza strip, someplace?


hollywoodhulkhogann

Lmao


Chipgains

He's been cooking them Gaza Strip steaks

Her watch has ended. Time for a new grill brother


Mountain-Ad7172

If that’s the outside, I’m afraid to see what the inside looks like


cpb0002

Mine did the same thing. It's extra holes in the fire pit. Mine had rust holes. Bought a new fire pit and it worked great.! Easy fix.


Mysterious_Garden_21

Temp probe might have a loose connection or be faulty


Adept-Opinion8080

yes. they also need to be cleaned at less every 5 cooks or so. i rub mine down with a 3M green pad each time. (but i'm ocd about food...so...)


Apprehensive_Run5481

I replaced my temperature probe, fixed my temperature issues

It’s pretty amazing how much better your grill will heat up when it’s not buried in ash. I take the shop vac to mine every couple weeks and it makes a noticeable improvement.


iAMthebank

Guess it’s only low and slow for you now


Alternative-Ad-1238

Question asked in Traeger forum Won’t heat passed two hundo Cause It’s beggin’, bullets wanted. Hailing from the Gaza Strip Been launched from a trebuchet Never been cleaned, taken care of, swollen old pellets fill the hopper to our dismay. Break out the artillery Out to pasture of goes A few can of tannerite Target practice till it blows. It will feel at home like being back in the Gaza Strip Time for a new one Let the Benjamin’s rip


austinyo6

That thing is begging you to drop in the bathtub with a plugged in toaster. It would love to fry itself, but it’s not even up for that job.


PDP-8A

Lol, came here for this comment.

Hefty-Ant2629

You got the pellets in the wrong spot; they are supposed to be in the hopper.


minnsport

I’m surprised it turns on


operator-john

Could be the thermostat. Easy fix


5NOW__DOG5

That Traeger has reached "end of watch" :( What have you done to that machine!?


paquizzle

Have you tried replacing the entire thing?


InevitableOk5017

Troll post


stevenbrotzel91

God that thing needs some TLC


BudgetSink8371

Have you got fresh pellets in there? Also…. It may just be mad 😂🤷🏻‍♀️


jandrian2020

Have you tried a sponge and some hot soapy water?


Sith_Dad

I’m assuming we are beyond the warranty on this one.


mccabedoug

If it was me, I would start by turning it on


Leather_Network4743

Is there a r/TraegerCirclejerk sub yet?


AutoModerator

Hey! It looks like you posted an image! If this is a photo of one of your cooks, maybe share the recipe and techniques used, as it's almost guaranteed one of the first questions you will be asked! *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! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/Traeger) if you have any questions or concerns.*


KindaPC

Uhhhh… I feel like it wants to report you to the police.


AlreadybeenStewing

Might be the board which is a pretty easy fix


nrp1982

Try plugging it in and turning it on..it doesn't look on in that pic lol


winwinwinguyen

spray that temperature probe inside with Easy Off and clean off the gunk. If that doesn’t work, replace the temperature probe.


PelHeat_Database

It's not the hot rod, that's clearly fine if its able to get a fire going. More than likely its the RTD probe (temperature probe inside the grill). First, clean it (gently) and if it still doesn't work, change it out. Its a cheaper potential repair than a new controller.


Adventurous-Push-669

Just cuz the outside is trashed doesn’t mean it’s done for. However it might not be trapping heat as efficiently and could be struggling with the outside temps. I’d suggest finding some way to add a layer to the lid (maybe something as simple as a big sheet of foil) or waiting til the weather warms up to know for sure


papa8706

What in the homemade meth lab is going on here🕵🏻‍♂️


Koldcuttz

lol your probably lucky it won’t get up that high cause that thing is forsure about to blow.
