Century 885 (Costco) Warming Drawer Temperature

[Joshuaalanmoore]

Does anyone have experience with the warming drawer on the Century 885 (Costco exclusive). It doesn't seem to get warm for me. Right now the grill is at 225 and the warming drawer won't go above 50 degrees. I keep the vent shut on the front and even in the summer when smoking, I can't seem to get it to above 100 degrees.

Thanks in advance!

I have the Century 22 which has a warming drawer too. I use it to store smoke tubes. Go figure.

Most of the models made specifically for the big box stores are just gimmicky. Oh well, hopefully the unit itself operates as well as the base line up models. You will have to forgive me but I’m just not a fan of the big box stuff. I feel it tricks consumers into thinking they’re getting some sorta good deal when the opposite is often true when you factor in actual value and relevant technology.

Yep, it's just a derivative from a main product. The major appliance industry does this too so Home Depot, Lowes, etc. have specific models that are not available elsewhere so they cannot be competitively shopped.

Still, it is hard to beat Costco on a Traeger, especially when you can take it back if you end up with a lemon.

Costco policy is one of the best.
