Traeger Timberline 1300 wont heat up
-
Brian Schneider I’m not sure you will ever get a Traeger to truly sear anything as they simply don’t hit the necessary temps. My Pit Boss has a plate that can be opened so you can sear over an open flame. It’s quite handy!
-
Joe Hell well maybe there will be some modifications in the future. My father in law is a mill right and can make just about anything.
Brian Schneider They are not designed to sear. They only time I hit over 500 degrees is when my firepot went up in flames from the temp probe going bad. To much heat in the pot will push the flame up the auger shaft.
-
I think the bottom rack is designed to drop down closer to the firepot for searing. Like has been said pellet grilla aren’t really designed to sear. Put some grill grates on it and i bet you’ll get the sear you’re looking for.

Brian Schneider You can always contact Traeger support
Drseibert I tried and they could barely speak English. And they tried telling me I needed to buy a new thermocouple but that is not the case and I chalk that up to the language barrier. Ended up hanging up frustrated after a 40 min wait to speak to someone and then when they did pick up she would ask me a question then put me on hold for 5 min over and over. After 2hrs I just gave up and went on with my day.

That the way they have become. They used to be a really good company when they were in Wilsonville, Oregon. You can’t even get replacement parts for the older models anymore. I buy from Stanbroil to replace what I need for my Texas Elite.

johnsbrewhouse What is Stanbroil. I have a Texas Elite also
Drseibert Stanbroil is a company that make replacement parts for the Traeger. I have gotten my auger motor, blower motor, temp probe, heat element and upgrade my control panel with parts from them. Cheaper than Traeger and made in the same place.

johnsbrewhouse Is it safe to assume that they have a web page?
