Hi everyone. Long time smoker, first time pellet smoker here. I've decided to go with the Traeger 075 Lil' Tex for my first pellet smoker (mostly for the cost). I was wondering about a couple of mods and what you guys thought. The first one I was looking at doing once I got my smoker was to put a rheostat in for the auger. This would allow a finer control of the auger speed and smoker temp. I'm pretty sure this is all the digital unit does, other than the readout of course. I have a maverick wireless thermometer so reading the temp is no problem.
The other mod I was thinking about, and this is kind of a wacky thought, was possibly placing some kind of insulation around the smoker. Like a water heater jacket for example. Has anyone tried this? Do you guys think it would help, or would the gasket mod be fine?
Thanks in advance and I'm looking forward to all the information I'll get
