Not getting to high heat…

[VT-smokeman]

My traeger will not get hot anymore, it’s mildly warm, few sparks, a little smoke, but will not warm up like normal. Do I need to replace the firepot?

Could be the fire pot, check to see there are no rust holes anywhere and the factory holes are clear. Could be the fan also make sure it sound good and is running correctly. The rtd is probably the cheapest thing to replace, it could also be malfunctioning.
