Pellet Sensor Review

Easy to install and can save a costly piece of meat should you run out. Doesn't give completely accurate readings since the pellets can remain around the wall of hopper and smoothing it back out can take you from 25% remaining back to 50%. But if gravity didn't pull those pellets down, it would be right and you'd be close to running out. Before this, i used to always top off my hopper so I didn't run out. I bought 3 just for the peace of mind. The app only shows it when the Grill Temp monitor is the active monitor or on the home screen. So if you're watching probe temp or timer, you have to switch back to grill temp to check on pellets. Though alerts fire off regardless. This will definitely help you determine if you're a hopper half full or hopper half empty person.

Trager Pellet Sensor - A great and needed feature

The sensor is a very great feature to the grill. I have a Traeger 575 PRO grill. It is easy to calibrate. It posts it to your WIFI phone. When you do a many hour cook it is essential as it alerts your phone if pellets are low. It is as essential as the other great features the grili WIFI has. I just did a 13 hour smoke / cook a 13# prime rib roast. It came out great. I had, by the pellet sensor 50% of my pellets left.

Pellet sensor

Works great. I don't keep my pellet bin totally full so this is a great aid to tell me when I need to add more Pellets.

Pellet sensor is a nice add on but not necessary

Works pretty well. It doesn't assess the whole bin only directly under the sensor. So if the pellets aren't sliding down right under the sensor it reads a low number but if you go stir some of the pellets over it then bumps up. I wish the pellets funneled down better. I'm using traeger brand ones on a pro 575.

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.
