Jul 1, 2020 · Used the 1-foot tube and the 6-inch tube all over my 680 and never had a problem with temp. control. But that said I have found that the smoke mode on the 680 does better than the tubes without the work. I believe the rule is the first 30 min.s are where the smoke does it's thing.

Dec 1, 2019 · Hi. I have a Pro 575 and thoroughly enjoy using it. Before my Traeger I was doing my low and slows on a BGE and really liked the smoke flavor the wood chunks would produce.

Oct 27, 2015 · In my never ending quest to achieve the ever elusive smoke ring in an electric smoker, I ordered an additional 18" smoke tube from Todd! My thought was that MAYBE with the combination of 225 degrees from the heating element, a full tube of Pit Master's Choice, and a full tube of briquettes, I could get at least a slight sign of the pink ring I ...

May 4, 2022 · So just read where a proud new Traeger smoker owner cannot keep his 'Smoke Tube' lit! Let me understand you pay a $1000 for a smoker, another $30 for smoker pellets, and then have to buy a smoke tube to get it to smoke! Sadly my 34 has never smoked either. Any correspondence with Traeger gets no...
