Unexpectedly a Traeger Owner

[CG213]

Hi everyone! I hail from the state of Georgia and unexpectedly became a Traeger owner today.

We went to visit my in-laws for dinner and someone down the street from them had an older BBQ075 on the curb, free for pickup. So I grabbed it and plan on really gettin into it this summer! Look forward to learning from the community.

Hopefully, the freebe gril was put on the curb because the owner just got tired of it, or perhaps upgraded to a newer model. However, even if you have to replace some parts, you still got a good deal. Parts for the BBQ075 are still available.

I love my 0075, parts are easy to replace if needed and still available from after market suppliers. I would do a good cleaning before you try your first cook. Maybe fresh pellets, since you probably don't now how long the units been sitting in Ga humidity. The owners manual is available on line (https://www.appliancefactoryparts.com/content/pdfs/267843-1.pdf). Thanks for joining the forum, great help here if you need it.

Awesome! Thanks for the link! I know I need to replace the control board, if for no other reason than because it’s the old school power switch and three temp setting. Any suggestions? Been looking at the Direct Igniter board for now since their Wi-Fi/PID is out of stock.

Always Beware… when the first one’s free .
