Hey guys I just wanted to drop a line and say hi before I start posting here.I have been bbq'ing for around 10 years but got my first pellet smoker in 2007.I own a Traeger 075 that I have done a few mods to.Anyway the site and forum look cool so I thought I would join.

Welcome aboard Big Jake! You came to the right place, great group here from pros to newbies all learning and sharing with each other. There are quite a few Traeger owners here too so you are in good company. Look forward to seeing what you cook!

Thanks!

Hey thanks for the warm welcome guys.And as far as mods they were pretty basic,but helpful.Here is what I did.

1.Replaced all the stainless outside parts (door etc.) with powder coated parts.They seem to be easier to get the gunk off plus I just like the look better.
2.Switched out the old 225 controller with the new 180.That way I have the 180 settings plus the hole in front so I can adjust p-settings.
3.Added some gasket tape to the door to seal it up a bit
4.Added fire bricks on the inside to help maintain temp.
