My son gave me his Tailgater and I'm totally new to pellet grills. It doesn't seem to want to stay lit. I've been using it on smoke mode to make jerky. I cleaned everything including the sawdust out nof the auger. I'm using Traeger pellets that are new and they are being stored in the house because of the humidiity. The RTD is working correctly and accurately. I have run out of ideas with the exception, of could it be the control board? Does it vary the speed of the induction fan to keep the fire going? After start up the fan just seems to operate on one speed and I know it has higher rpm's due to how it operates on startup. So, if the auger delivers some pellets when it is at lower temperatures if the fan doesn't feed more oxygen is my fire being smothered?
