Name is Paul, new here with an older original Traeger 075.

Bought the Traeger Texas 075 in 05, LOVE it, been struggling with the auger gumming up near the fire pot recently causing the auger to stall, think it may be the pellets we are using, "Pacific Pellet Gourmet BBQ Pellet"?

Welcome aboard Paul. Have you tried another pellet mfg'er? I suggest trying BBQ'ers Delight. It's the only pellet I use now.

Matt,
Thank you, quick look on their web site looks like a quality pellet for flavor. How are they for reliability, anti gumming/coking?

I used to use Pacific Pellets (good price), but the apple blend caused a lot of clinkers in my MAK 2. I would have to scrape the clinkers off the igniter after every cook. I use only Lumberjack, now. BTW, welcome to this forum. Lots of good people here, and good grillers!

I've had absolutely no problems with them in my MAK 2 Star.

Welcome to the forum! Using two Traegers and a MAK2, no troubles using BBQ'ers Delight pellets.
