New Traeger Pellet Grill | Burn Off | The Correct Way

[@squwilf]

I hit my Traeger with the high heat right away and it did peal. So please follow this to prevent the pealing.

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Ya this doesn't happen all the time on powder coated pits but it does happen on every brand unfortunately. I can't say that it still won't happen but out of all the pits I have had none of them have peeled. Thanks for watching and leaving this valuable comment for others to read!!

[@dubox37]

Glad I found this video! Seasoning mine right now with this method.

[@codecodderson3607]

Well I hope mine doesn't because my dumbass didn't look at what the temperature was set in and it was in Celsius and I sent her the 250...

If the paint bubbles then I get a new one great warranty

Found this vid 10 mins into starting the burn off on my 780 at 350 degrees. I immediately turned it down to 250 degrees and am finishing the process by your instructions. Hopefully this helps avoid any paint peeling. Thanks for the great videos and advice!

Heck ya Rus! Now this pit isn't the top dog but I am very happy with the controller and the features Traeger offers on that but it is not the best pellet grill I have cooked on to date but hands down it stomps the heck out of the last Traeger I cooked on a couple years back!!

[@zenbran]

Got my dad who’s turning 60 in a few days this model. Really tried to get him the Treager XL but sadly couldn’t afford it for payment plan. He’s an executive chef and had a really bad year last year with his health and job. But things are much better now so I got him this grill because some salesman at Costco sold him on the brand few years back and was all he would fantasize about getting even though with all my thorough research I know you mentioned the camp chef woodwind pro being a bit better. I couldn’t convince him. So got him this model since it’s the cheapest I could somewhat afford just gunna take a long time to pay off. But did all your steps for seasoning and baking and even though I’m a neighbor (Minnesotan) we had horrible rain all day today I managed to luck out and get a dry spell to do the seasoning times and temp increases and all worked out great! Tomorrow being Father’s Day he’ll be doing his first smoke and cook with it which he’s excited. He will be doing a rack of ribs and dry rubbed chicken wings. Great videos! Me and my dad watched a few of them while we waited on the cook times for seasoning. And really enjoyed them. I’m not sure if you’ve done a video on this. But I know other KZbinrs have. But what brand of wood pellets do you tend to prefer? He is new to the pellet grilling scene so trying to be a helpful sous chef or whatever the term is for BBQing lol. Either way he’s excited for his first cook. And loves that he will be able to let it cook and monitor it from his phone since movement is what’s tough for him.

[@zenbran]

Did his first cook with ribs and chicken wings today. And 100% love it. The ribs he made turned out amazing! Same with his chicken wings. But the ribs which im normally not a fan of ribs (braces ruined my desire for them) but damn these were good. We even found some sauce at walmart which never thought id recommend something from there but a sauce brand called “Blues Hog” their “Raspberry Chipotle” was amazing to dab with the meat. But meat alone was great as well!

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

I use a lot of Blues Hog on my BBQ too! The Tennessee Red is ,y favorite dipping sauce but they do not sell it at Walmart!! ugh hahaha glad you are enjoying that pit!

[@zenbran]

@@DeadBrokeBBQ im gunna have to try that dip! He just finished his first brisket today he was worried because he’s never done brisket on bbq before. But turned out amazing!

New to pellet grills. Thanks for the video. Understand the reasoning for having the lid open, but my 575 never made it to 250 with the lid open. It topped out at 200 then cooled to about 125 before I closed the lid. Followed your steps after that 👍🏻

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

You don't leave the lid open the whole time bud, just until the white smoldering smoke stops and the fan kicks in. That only takes about 10 minutes and then you close it up. Thanks for watching!

When I burned in the traeger, the manual did not mention seasoning the chamber at all, just burn off. I've been cooking about 2 years on it. Am I too late to the seasoning party? The food oils have coated the top half nicely, the bottom is a dry dusty brown. It gets vacuumed after each cook

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Brian you are good to go brother! All I did with that canola oil to speed up the process to what you acquired from just the regular cooks!! Most pellet grill companies don't talk about spraying them down, I guess old habits from an old charcoal and wood cook never die brother!! hahaha I am very happy with how this controller works!

You will hear it, not the loudest pellet grill on the market. Pretty average noise level but they all have a fan noise. We have friends over and when I cook outside, we really don't notice it but all of my friends and family are use to the fan noise. The loudest pellet grill I have ever ran is an old Green Mountain Grill. I hope this helps and maybe you can find someone in your area who owns one and go give it a listen?!?! Thanks for watching!!

[@robertjackson7089]

I’ve owned several now Started off with the pro series and upgraded to the ironwood Like any other grill, again any other grill there are pros and cons They all have their place in bbq Let me say this As far as initial start up yes I would agree Now please don’t buy a pellet grill thinking it’s the end all to all end all’s of your cooking, cause they are not… If your skills are limited to opening a van of soup and adding water there grills will not make you to talk of the block However they are great if you want juicy moist tender meat with little effort you can’t go wrong Just remember as you transgress thru the stages there are lessons you have to master At the end of the day as long as you and yours enjoy the meal it’s all good no matter what your cooking on

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Well said Robert!! Agree completely! The big thing I like about a pellet grill is 100% the convenience! Yes I miss the bbq that came of my old hand made offset but I do not miss the hours of tending a fire when I have other crap I need to get done!! I want an offset again to use once a month, yes I said once a month because with 2 teenage boys that are involved in every activity under the sun I just don't have all day to sit and drink beer in front of a fire box anymore. That being said when these 2 turds move out I will have something else to pass the time away until I got to finally hit the rack and get some shut eye!! Thanks for watching and I appreciate the comment!!

[@robertjackson7089]

I too will add another small offset, just finding the right one, lost mine in a divorce years ago but I sure don’t miss the fire management side, I’m also going to build a whole hog pit but to be honest either one of those will get limited use. I follow a lot of you guys just to get ideas of what to cook next So let me part with this Don’t cook boring food and you won’t eat boring food BBQ on my Man

[@nickhouse2915]

How do you smoke on the 780? My dad’s traeger has a smoke setting but this one doesn’t. He smokes ribs for 5-6 hours I’d like to know how to do it on the 780

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Turn it on at 150 and let it roll, this pit will smoke enough. Older Traeger pits had a smoke setting because the higher temps they ran, the less smoke they made. Thanks for watching!

[@mb748]

So I seasoned the grill yesterday. I removed unused pellets thru the cleanout door. Some pellets are still sitting on the auger however. That a big deal or should I remove the screws from the grate in the pellet hopper and remove them?

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Nah. You can leave them in there! Thanks for watching!

[@txfieros]

According to Traeger certain models with the rear downdraft exhaust do not need to lid open for startup. They have a little chart/list that helps you determine if you have to. I never open the lid on my Ironwood 650 (with the downdraft exhaust) just like Traeger states. No issues.

[@txfieros]

On another note. I’ve owned three different brands of pellet grills. The best performing controller has been the Traeger. Even with no super smoke on the lower D2 models, the smoke production at 200 and below should be just as good as on my ironwood with super smoke off. Just a nice stream of steady stream of thin blue smoke.

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Ya Krash the downdraft exhaust is suppose to eliminate this but my car has drivers assist and I don't trust that either!!ha ha But these fire up so quickly that a couple minutes with the lid open IMO is a better safe than sorry prevention. I am glad to hear that you haven't had any issues though!! Thanks for sharing that with us!!

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

I agree I am nowhere even close to being a certain "Brand" person. I have tons of examples on how I switched brands on multiple things and was typically happy that I did it! I do have to admit I lean towards the craftsmanship and build quality on my Lone Star Grillz Santa Maria, so I am excited to see what their pellet grill is like when it finally arrives here! But I will cook on any pit to see how it does! I am actually film at this very moment a rib cook on a Z Grills and that thing is doing a pretty good job so far!!

Ricer, Another great video. I am getting tempted into buying a pellet grill. I can only spend about $750. Have you seen or used anything in that range that you could recommend?

[@DeadBrokeBBQ]

Yes this Traeger is $1,000 but a very solid pit so far for me. The Pit Boss 1150 is around that $750 and has a lot of good convenience options on it. Plus it is bigger than this Traeger. Another option would be the Pit Boss 850 and both of the Pro Series pits can be found at Lowe's. Camp Chef make a good pellet grill also. Hope this helps!! Thanks for watching!!
