Gnarly temperature swings: how do I fix it?
I bought this Traeger used back in the fall for a good deal. It was in great condition when I bought it and was obviously cared for. I’m unsure of the model off the top of my head, but I think it’s around 8-10 years old. It has quite a gnarly temperature swing, especially when set to 225. It’ll drop as low as the 190s and jump as high as 300. I clean it regularly and put a shop vac to it every other cook, sometimes every 3rd cook. I make do with it, but I’d like a little more consistency. Temperature swing seems to remain the same whether the ambient temperature is hot or cold (I live in PA so winters are pretty chilly and summers are pretty hot). It seems as though the temperature reading is quite accurate.
What parts should I replace to fix this? I’m very keen to put some new parts on it, I just don’t want to end up replacing everything until I find what the actual problem is. Any help is appreciated, thanks!
