Stage 1 - Smoke the Ribs.
Traeger not enough smoke. Not enough smoke Many people when they think of a smoker think of a grill billowing thick white smoke. This is not the type of smoke we want in order to produce the amazing food that keeps members of the Traegerhood in love with their grills. Often the smoke is so thin it only appears as heat waves coming off the grill.
However it is there. The lower the temp the more smoke youll get. I have the same Traeger and I dont think it puts out a lot of smoke which is really disappointing.
I had a couple of roasts on today at 165 and it just doesnt seem like theres a lot of smoke at that set point. I really dont want to have to buy a smoking tube to try and get more smoke. Pellets need oxygen to ignite burn smolder and produce smoke.
If for any reason you are not getting enough airflow to the firepot you either wont get any smoke or will only get thick dirty white smoke. A Fan is Not Working. Check that your fans are operating properly as these help deliver oxygen to the pellets and ignite them.
I have a Traeger and am happy with it. Be sure to let it sit on the Smoke setting to establish heat for 15-20 minutes not the4-5 that they recommend. Then realize that the smoke is variable and the heat s true bags do not match the heat delivered.
The sensor is not perfect. It is there but thinner that you imagine. You only have to see a brisket with the red line around the outside to see that it works.
If the taste is not sufficient then i suggest you get a smoke tube which you fill with pellets light it and put it in the Traeger then you will see smoke. Despite this problems do happen and you might find that the amount of smoke your pellet smoker grill is generating isnt enough. This isnt totally uncommon and experienced pelletheads often find that it doesnt compare to the amounts of smoke they can rustle up with their traditional grill especially if they use hardwood logs or soaked wood chips.
The Grill is not Smoking. It is a vital complaint about Traeger Grill that sometimes the grill is not smoking. The main purpose of a grill is to smoke.

Placing them on both side of the smoker should provide complete smoke coverage and the food should develop delicious smoke rings. Traeger Smoke Setting vs 180F. The Traeger can produce very little smoke or a lot of smoke depending on the temperature you set and the amount of air being blown in.
So the nature of the smoke in the two systems – even when using identical pellets – can be quite different because of the different temperature at which the pellets burn and the amount of air they receive. This may seem alarming but seeing smoke coming from the hopper during a cook is indicative of an airflow issue–not the pellets in the hopper ready to ignite. Typically the fan is not blowing to create the correct pressure to vacuum out the exhaust allowing smoke to escape out of the hopper.
If your Traeger does not produce enough smoke for your taste in barbecue you can add a cold smoke generator to your grill. To attach a smoke generator you will need to drill a hole in the side of your Traeger and insert the cold smoker tube. If one smoker tube along with the pellet grill is still not producing enough smoke then use two smoker tubes.
Placing them on both sides of the smoker should provide complete smoke coverage and the food should develop noticeable smoke rings.

Close the lid and let the ribs cook for about 90 minutes.
