Ironwood XL seasoning failure

[Arch3rs]

So I just upgraded to my first Traeger today, picked up an Ironwood XL - awesome! However, I set it all up, loaded it up with pellets, and began the seasoning process, it got up to about 270° and then I think the igniter turned off or something? It just stopped heating and I watched the temp drop to below 100. Anyone have any ideas why? I’m new to this, any help is greatly appreciated.

I would try again I guess, set to about 350 and see if it cooks there first.
It's possible to have a bad controller, but before jumping to solutions, try again.
then call Traeger CS if it happens again.

Its a common issue with the new generation grills. They take a long time to warm up, especially the XL models. Both of my grills did not complete the seasoning process up to the seasoning temp.

Ironwood XL slow warmup.

Hello, New to the forum but not to the product. I felt I should post and find out how other grills are working, I suspect the Timberline are possibly experiencing the same. I have found that the warmup is extremely slow to the point where I will get a low temp error and a shutdown anyone else...
