Yes, I'm using one on my Traeger Silverton 620, and I can see my pellet level right now because I'm cooking a brisket. br>Dump the pellets, remove the safety grate, and pull out the rubber cap on the inside of the hopper, which is located on the front left. Before filling the hopper, make sure it's calibrated.
Why would you fill your Traeger's hopper with dog food? It's impossible for me to imagine smoking while eating dog food.
The Traeger mobile app and WiFi are required to receive the alerts, according to the instructions. Check inside the Pellet Hopper for a rubber plug where the sensor should be plugged in if your grill has WiFi. Yes, it should work if it contains that.

This is a fantastic addition. Especially for those who cook for extended periods of time at a time. The pellets can tunnel at times, giving you a false reading of low pellets. Remember to clear out all pellets before installing (you can leave the ones in the auger, but it's important to remember: Put a small towel in the hopper to catch any screws that fall out! ) Once the sensor is connected, it must be calibrated when the hopper is empty (low). Then, with your hand over the sensor (full), place it in that position. Traeger needs to add a similar add-on-on-on-on-on-on-on-on-on-on-on-on-on-on-on-on-on-on-on- For the grill side, there's a little more light.
Pinstripes and mudguards on cars the dealer tried to sell you back in the day were examples of upgrades that should have been included. The pellets do not fall evenly, resulting in a slope and inaccurate readings of the levels. I'm looking for a motor that vibrates. Maybe Traeger will be the next upgrade?.
It's easy to set up, connects to the grill automatically, and appears in the app. I mean, I'm not overjoyed it didn't show up on the grill in the first place. To nickle and dime me, Traeger, you have to separate the shelf, cover, and pellet sensor? However, there is no denying that they are the best and that they prepare fantastic food. Furthermore, there are plenty of suckers like myself who will pay the price. Overall, adding this sensor allowed me to fully step away from my grill while still being able to monitor all of my cook's parameters, so it was well worth it. But at $50, it would be more worthwhile, and I'd be happier with it.
It's pretty straightforward. Ensure that you don't run out of pellets in the middle of a game. cook. Pellets, it turns out, are more than just a pleasant odor; they also serve as a source of heat. Pellet grills are actually pellet heaters that use food-grade pellets for heating. As a result, once you've used up all of your energy, the heat will turn off. "Close enough," according to the pellet sensor. "I see people complaining about the accuracy, but they're missing the point. " Because this isn't an airplane (where, according to the rules, the only thing a fuel gauge in an airplane needs to show accurately is "empty," which won't help you much because you'll have figured it out on your own, no fuel gauge required), close enough is good enough. Hear the low pellet alarm, fill it up, and return to your bed! It's bad when you run out of fire at 3 a. m. Worse, all the ash that gets blown around inside the grill and all over your food during re-heating is a nightmare. ignition.
My Silverton 620 from Costco had a very simple installation. Just make sure to calibrate the sensor before re-filling the hopper. Also useful is the light. br>br>I'm not sure it's a necessity, but it's sure handy to have, and with the expensive meats you can smoke on your Traeger, it won't take more than a cook or two to pay for itself. This is a fantastic addition to a grill that is already fantastic.
I only realized it because I received a notification that the temperature had dropped, but it was too late by then. It was necessary to clean the grill, re-start it, and repeat all of the steps. This is something I recommend to anyone who owns a grill.
Costco's Silverton 620 with D2 controller is what I have. This add-on component was simple to set up and recognized by the controller right away. Make sure the hopper is empty until it has finished calibrating. This item is extremely durable. I believe there is a significant margin baked in at $75. However, it is a useful add-on that works well with the phone app. Upgrading from my old ten-year-old computer is a huge step forward. Traeger has had a fantastic year so far. There are a slew of new features.
It's simple to set up and calibrate the first time you use it. Knowing the pellet level when you're not near the smoker is a nice piece of mind. br>br>Note that this is due to natural pellet action, which causes a depression rather than the top of the pellets always being perfectly flat. unless I open the pellet box and relevel the pellets, its "close" to accurate due to that I see its slightly showing under % of actual unless I open the pellet box and There's nothing wrong with it; just keep in mind that you probably have a few more pellets in your hopper than you're reporting. Overall, it's still worthwhile because it's better than having no information on your Traeger app at all.
