I also experienced this with my first cook using the Pro 780. When I followed up I found a large amount of pellet fines in the auger. Since I have been careful to remove the fines from the pellets when transferring from the bag to the dry container. Also when adding the pellets to the hopper. Seems to have worked ???I recently bought the Ironwood 650. Ashes everywhere grates and food too. I seasoned it, then did the 3-2-1 ribs. The clean grill indicator showed. I noticed about 1/4 to 3/8 of inch thick ashes and ash dust all over the sides and grates. I have done three cooks total and seems that any cooks over 6 hours generates a lot of ash. Traeger is trying to tell me this a normal??? My old Costco Traeger 22 inch never generated this much ash and it never was above the drip tray. This is after a 9 hour pork shoulder.
