Smoke from the hopper

Smoke coming out of the hopper

Traeger support:

• The chimney cap is screwed down too far: set it at 2 cm (3/4 in).
• The chimney is blocked with soot or creosote.
• The fire has burnt back up the auger tube: switch off, let it cool, and see Traeger's "Smoke Coming out of Hopper" article.
