new to pellet grilling/smoking

[mercedes]

Howdy,

I'm new to this forum and new to pellet grilling and smoking.  I just bought a Traeger pellet grill and I have read most of what came in the box, but one of the items that I wonder about is this:  when reading about the grill it tells that I can use different pellets for different tastes;  such as hickory, apple, oak pellets.. Question: if I fill the hopper with, let's say hickory pellets for steaks, and I want to change Apple pellets for fish; and the hopper is filled with hickory; how do I change the pellets in mid stream..?

According to Traeger website:
[h2]HOW DO I CHANGE THE PELLET FLAVORS IN MY HOPPER?[/h2]
To change the flavor of hardwood in your hopper, you would need to scoop out the current flavor pellets from the hopper with a small container, then fill the hopper with the new flavor. Our Pro Series Models have an easy Hopper Clean-out Door.

Hope this helps!

Welcome to the Forum fellow Traeger user.  Just clean out the pellets when done smoking with one type of pellet and add the other type.  There will be some pellets left in the auger but they will quickly be used.
