Chimney: clean and set the cap gap
Clean the chimney, set the cap at 2 cm
The manual, page 24, and Traeger support's chimney article.
- Make sure the grill is cold and unplugged.
- Unscrew the chimney cap.
- Scrape the creosote out of the upright and the horizontal pipe with a stiff non-metal tool (the manual suggests a wooden paint stirrer), or a brush.
- Vacuum out the loose soot. Do not spray water into it (the manual).
- Screw the cap back on, leaving a gap of 2 cm (3/4 in) above the pipe.
