I read this somewhere online a little while ago.
"The lower the P#, the shorter the cycle time on the auger when on the smoke setting. So the the controller will take into consideration the temperature from the probe and as long as the temp is hot enough, it will not run the auger. The exception to this is if there has been enough time pass that the P# setting which is time based and not temp based, says you have to run the auger so the fire doesn't go out"
Now I know all about how the P settings work, the auger runs for 15 seconds and depending on the P settings you have it set on, thats how long the Traeger will wait between cycles to start pushing pellets in again to try and maintain the temp you want. I never knew that the Traeger would override the P setting if it was still hot enough depending on what you have the temp set on. I have never seen the above anywhere, maybe I missed it in the manual
. My salesman back when I purchased it, didnt even mention the P settings. I found out by another member of the Bradley Forum I belong to.
How true is that statement above. I have never really sat there and monitored it so see if thats really the case. Thanks for any input.
