Pellet Sensor

Easy to install. Great addition. Now my phone and watch can get a notification that my pellets are down to 25%. Makes smoking so much easier.

Pellet sensor alerts are great

Product works great and provides alarms when it senses the pellets are low. Love that the alerts come from the grill as well as through the app.

Pellet sensor

I like the sensor because it has the ability to prevent you from running so low that you drain the wormdrive and going through another initial firing process. However, because of where the sensor sits in the hopper, and how the pellets never fall directly to create a perfect pile under the sensor it constantly tells me im low when really it is just that part of the hopper that is low. In reality, the pellet level will triple when you shift the pellets around. The hopper needs to be designed so that the pellets fall orderly. 9 time out of ten it sends you false alarm warnings, but it could help during long smoking sessions for, say, a brisket. Worth the 80 bucks, but could be improved.

Must Have for Wifire grills

If you get a Wifire grill you need to make the extra investment for the sensor... especially if you plan to cook meat for long hours as the feeder cam have pellets that stop feeding due to angle in the box.

Necessary, but not perfect

I needed a sensor because I once ran out of pellets, and since then I have been kind of obsessed with pellet level. Now I do not have to worry since my app tells me when I need to add pellets. The reason I did not give it 5 stars is that, even after calibrating, the level indication is really not accurate. When the hopper is 80% full, the app says ~40%. I just am thankful that it is erring on the conservative side, so I add pellets earlier than desirable, rather than after running out of them. Even with the accuracy problem, which others have also noted, I feel it is a necessary addition to my Traeger Pro 575. I recommend it for the peace of mind it gives me.

Pellet Sensor

Excellent accessory. It only took one time of running low on pellets and having to restart the grill for me to realize that I needed this.

You have to have this! Like I have said on the grill itself. Takes all the step out of being a rookie and makes you more efficient with the app!

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.
