Pro 575 Not Achieving Temperatures

[JordanK]

Just checked my firmware. The update was pushed through. V 01.01.02. Be interesting to know what changes they made.

Great news! Nothing here yet but I just finished a three hour cook of some ground turkey pepperoni sticks. Maybe it will update now that the grill is shutting down. The update is supposed to fix the temperature gap issue. One guy reported it was dead on after the new update. Let us know what happens.

Just shut mine down and nothing still. I had to disconnect it and put it away. Maybe next time. Stink not having an idea of when or how long it would take. Was running or had power for more than 10 hours today.

I just shut down too. No update yet. Will flip it on in the morning again.

Got the update! Fired it up to 450 the temp probe that I use would read about 386-390 when heated to 450 now with the update it reads 450-460.

I left the power switch on over night and the update came through. Hope this works or I will be driving 150 miles to take it back to cabela's.

Mine updated over night as well. Planning to do some chicken thighs tonight, reckon I'll put my other thermometer in and check the temps so I don't burn them at my usual over-compensating setting

My Pro 575 just got the update. Now says Version 01.01.02 Config 4.011

Just firing it up now to see if there is still a temperature gap at high temperatures.

Woohoo! Looks like they fixed the issue! Set to 400F, D2 controller shows 401F and oven thermometer shows just over 400F!!

Thank you Traeger!

Excellent. Just checked mine and have the updated version as well. I'll check the temps shortly. I hope I get the same results as you!

Brand new to Traeger - quick questions regarding the new firmware. The folks that have cooked under the new firmware - are they still wrapping the temp sensor in foil to achieve these results? Would assume best scenario would be NOT having to trick the temp sensor but just wanted to see what others were doing.

All-in-all - I've been pretty happy with the results I'm getting (foodwise), but have been noticing big temp swings (and assume inaccurate temps others have seen, I've not checked). Food has taken a little longer than expected for a given grill temp but nothing that has ruined an evening. If the new firmware makes it even better - then I'm totally stoked (no pun intended!!).

Thanks!! Happy Independence Day!!!

I also checked and got the update around 8:30am. Went out and fired it up with 2 ambient probes. I had the same results as JordanK. Temps were right on with what the controller indicated. Both at low temps and high temps. Was able to get the 575 to 450* finally! So for now it seems as if our issues may be fixed!

I had the same temp problem before the update with and without tricking the probe. With the new update no temp problems at all. Everything is right on the money without wrapping the probe.

Hello, I have the same problem, if I run the smoker at 200 inside temp is 170, at 250 inside temp 225, 300 inside temp is 260, at 400 inside temp is 300 and at 450 inside temp is 350. i have been testing this for days, same results. The problem is the RTD, there is no way to reset it like old Traegers, you need a new one, call them and ask them for a new RTD. They wont have any in stock until 04/18/19, when supposedly they will get more in. Mean time I did a little modification, I got a small peace of aluminum foil and wrap the RTD "thermal Couple" the probe inside the grill, a thin layer of aluminum foil. It help me get more accurate temps. At 450 it was running inside at 425, lower temps were on point. I dont want to incentive someone to do this little mod, do it at your own risk if you try to attempt.

Mine as well. I decided for my first run I would do a 8 1/2 lb pork shoulder. The traeger recipe called for up to 9 hours to get the meat to an internal temp of 204. At 8 hours the meat was still in the low 150's. I stuck my digital thermometer and it read the "oven" temp was 185-190 despite setting my traeger being set at 250! I then moved it up to 300 and it read about 250. After another hour, I moved it up to 350 and my thermometer was showing 300. Finally after 12 hours on what should have been about a 9 hour job, I pulled it off at 195 degrees because it was 8 at night an I was hungry. It seemed my 575 was roughly 50 degrees lower at all temps. So I was a little disappointed in that especially with how much money these things cost. I'll keep my eye here because it seems like this is a problem with the 575. I'd prefer not to spend that much and then have to play a guessing game on what temp to set things at.
