There is not enough smoke coming from the Traeger.
These easy pellet grill hacks will help you upgrade your Traeger.Including smoker tubes, pellet fuel enhancements, and smoker tweaking.
One of the best ways to get authentic smokey barbecue is by using pellet smokers and grills.
Your grill is never in danger of burning out or showing flare-ups because of their electronic control panel and auger system.You are in business if the hopper is full and you have power.
You might find that the amount of smoke your pellet smoker grill is generating isn't enough despite the problems that do happen.
It doesn't compare to the amount of smoke they can rustle up with their traditional grill, especially if they use hardwood logs or soaked wood chips.
Slow things down if you are smoking BBQ.Take the temperature back and see how it goes.The cooking time can be extended to help build up smoke.
If you want a smokier flavor in your meat, this could be a great hack to use.This can take a bit of experimentation and trial and error, but with persistence, you will get there.
Try to lower your cooking temperature by 50 degrees and see how it goes.This will help prolong your cooking time by about 30 minutes.
If you do this, you could leave your meat vulnerable to drying out due to the longer smoking time.I recommend putting a water pan in the smoker chamber.This will help keep the meat moist.
Most pellet grill manufacturers tell you to use their own-brand pellets.
I have never had a problem changing between different brands of pellets.The warranty on your pellet smoker grill can be voided if you use a different brand of pellets.
Some types of pellets are not always up to the job of creating a healthy amount of smoker.
Traeger claims that only their own-brand pellets can be used with any of their pellet range, but their pellets are a little on the weak side when it comes to smoke and flavor.
Don't let the claim scare you.Sometimes a shake-up is all you need to get your grill back on track.
You can always invest in a pellet smoker tube if you don't want to try different pellets or experiment with lower temperatures.
These gadgets are basically what they sound like, and are a cheap add-on.Despite this, they are built to last with 304 steel.
The tubes hold your pellets compactly.They generate more smoke by being in a small space.
They are similar to gas grill smoker boxes, which are used on propane grills to create a richer and smokier flavor.
The tube has holes on its sides that allow good air flow.The design of the pellets allows them to burn at a high rate and produce a good amount of smoke.
There are other types of grills and smokers that can be used with smoker tubes.
