I’m trying this weekend! Thanks for all the info

Dude this hack was fire and worked like a charm!!! Electricity

You just saved my cook. THANK YOU!!!!

I need your CashApp or Venmo...you deserve a couple dollars...saved me about $75 in food

great video. So how many gallons does this recipe make? I need to make 3-4 gallons, so was wondering how to up the recipe.

Easy to be an arm chair quarterback, but why not saute the vegetables?

You have saved the day good sir!

Look at 6:15 in the video. There is a hickory chip caught between the auger and the opening of the pellet tube. That is what is causing those "awful" sounds. There is too much clearance between the auger and the pellet tube. I'm certain the amps to that auger motor were spiking! Still, other than that, it's not too damaging. Especially if you plan to replace your pellet grill before ~500 to 1000 cooks. Now this might sound counter intuitive, what you need in your situation is no chips that are small enough to get trapped between the auger and tube yet are still small enough to fit between the auger "blades" and none that are wedge shaped. If you sort those chips through hardware cloth for size and then sort out those that are wedge shaped, this will work. Frankly, if I were going to do this, I'd just hand split larger chunks. That way you can sort for size shape at the same time. However, I'd just use one of those smoker tubes. I don't have the time to hand sort wood chunks. That's why we use pellet grills instead of an offset smoker!

Ive replaced these twice in 3 years. I tried to close the circuit at the switch but it didnt take. This saved me today and for the forseeable future. Great smoker, but the cheap electronics take a lot away from it.

As we move into Chili Season. I just wanted to say, that this Chili is STILL UNDEAFEATED at my work! Going for year three here soon!

So why brand light on handle did you use it looks like a Webber??

Awesome video! Looking forward to building one myself :)

So what do you guys think? Can you build one?

Great video. Well presented.I like it!! Thank you

You are the man! Thanks!

Certainly would be nice if you shared what freaking “custom cable” you used. I mean this thing is useless without that tidbit of extremely important information.

How much wood chunks would you use for an average sized butt ? Thinking about getting one of these and trashing my pit boss pellet. I use my blackstone mostly when I want burgers but will use this as well when I want that fire kissed burger. Are flare ups a major problem ?

I love my 1050 but these damn switches are it’s Achilles heel. I’ve replaced 3 of them and now I’m here. Thanks for the easy fixing!

Cut the wires and twist together under a wire nut would work as well?

12V external power is not needed to get 100% fan speed. 5V external is enough to run at 100%. I rarely run above 60% on my 1050, so an external battery may not even be necessary with the GS

Wow your lucky over a year had to replace my controller twice, 2 of the door switches failed, and the worst, one of the wires for the temperature sensor came off the worst plug ever made, the connection to the plug with a 4-40 nut and the controller somehow still worked and ran the grill full blast until I came and saw the paint melting off the back of the grill. Don't buy Masterbuilt it's dangerous.

Where did you get that grill light on the handle???

I wonder if you could just burn wood instead of charcoal??? Have you tried it?

I have a 900 and for some reason I cant find any videos on the 900

Did you put in different brackets to hold the larger after market grate?

What hole size is that grate you used? And would you go bigger or smaller next time or is it just right?

Great instructions. Thanks 🙏

Holy crap! It worked!

I can’t get mine to run more than 5v. Is there something I’m doing wrong?

Great video. Where did you get the rack that you used in your smoker for the pig shots?

so what rub is best for meatball your SPG or Voodoo ?

God Damit why didn’t I watch your video first 😂 watched someone else and he cut the wires and spliced them together 😅 your way was much better

Made the switch for all 3 connections as shown in the video, but the fan still won't kick in... suggestions??

Found it!

Trying to find the solar pack and can’t find in the description?

That's the sound of the auger trying to turn with wood chips wedged between it and the auger tube. You're lucky nothing broke because using _anything_ other than Traeger's own pellets in a traeger grill voids the warranty.

It's clear that the demand is out there. I wonder why companies don't make stronger augers to be able to use wood chips.

thanks for the test. won't do it on my Traeger thanks to you. is there any way to inject wood chips other than through the auger?

Clowns like this burn down houses.

Did you end up leaving your ambient temperature probe in the original spot or did you end up moving it somewhere else

Hey thanks- this put me over the top on buying one, I’d seen some bad reviews surrounding the quality (of perhaps the earliest release). Do you have a video on installing the fireboard?

Does this install on a 560 as well?

Saved my Brisket on the 4th of July. Thank you!!!!

Omg you’re a man of the people.

Another testimonial here. Saved a low and slow 12 hour plus butt cook for 4th of July. Will be buying the connectors and bypassing the switches

Wow that worked. Thanks!

My Masterbuilt Gravity series 600 came with a detached wire to the ash door sensor this video helped me get it up and running. happy pre 4th of July!

What is the mod on the handle?

@johnmccaffery5186 5 months ago Great tip on the GST connectors and the 5 V/12 V adapter, was about to spend big money on alternative. was thinking about more probes also.Ash catch mode freat idea too. Thanks.

thanks so much - so easy!
