Today was the day for ribs....
Everything is going good. The silver skin pealed easly, got them rubbed.
Turned the TRAEGER to smoke to start it up. Take the ribs out and set the timer for 1 hour.

.
Timer goes off and I asks my wife to turn it up to 225.
20 mins later I go take a look and check the hopper...
120 degs. ! What the ??
I click it down to off then back to 225 .. I can hear the screw turning and shortly see smoke... LOTS OF SMOKE.
aw crap. Ok, let it run a bit and Whoosh, fire in the hole. !
Too hot, lights the pan drippings on fire, scramble in the house for a pan and tongs.
Get the ribs off, run back in the house drop the ribs off and get a cup of water.
Put the drip pan flames out.... Smoke it now coming out the pellet hopper. !!
Tear the pellets out of the hopper, pour some water in there and the smoke stops.
Turn it to off.
Go in the house, turn on the oven, throw in the ribs.
Go back out and scoop out all the wet pellet dust. Turn it back on and it's working just fine.
Turn it back off, close the lid and go back to canning salsa.
Took the ribs out after another 2.5 hrs...
Disaster overted

Traeger needs a full deep clean and a run up the check for issues.
This was a first issue ever since I bought it 4.5 years ago.
Might buy a new hotrod and replace it just for kicks.
Should have pulled it apart and cleaned the unburned pellets at the first flameout ...
Hoping you guys can help with my new pit boss. Cooked a frozen pizza on it tonight and noticed the temps on the control board and temp on the lid thermometer were off from each other quite a bit. I had it set to 400, the control read 400 and the lid thermometer read 350. Is that normal or do I need to be checking something out. It’s the second cook on it, the first one was steaks that were great but I didn’t pay a lot of attention to temps.
The pizza was very good. I usually burn them in the oven and probably pulled it a couple minutes to soon on the grill but I will definitely do it again. Next time make sure the crust gets a little more crisp on the bottom and it’ll be spot on. My boy liked it and enjoyed helping with the cook.Was the pizza good? We’re you satisfied with how it cooked? If the answer is yes to both forget about it. I never look at the one on my lid. I only look at the digital screen on my PB.
