Yeah I vacuumed out the pit before I started.  It was just pellets hanging up in the hopper and I was inside trying to do the beans.  Ended up being gross as it never got hot enough and fat never rendered enough to make it tender.  Disaster.

You might need a new fire rod. Seems like the fire box is not hot enough.

The fire pot is just fine it is the hopper where the pellets are stored.  The pellets do not fall to the bottom of the hopper where they would enter the auger, they just line up on the walls of the hopper and don't drop in.

Dinner tonight:

Oh hella yes!

Pretty psyched. It's 24.4 pounds which I'm hoping will be perfect by 5 or 6.

Wow!

Babe on the Traeger! How could you?! Mmmm, Babecon.

Have fun Mike and FedEx some leftovers.

Fuck that looks good, Mike!

Absolutely! I've had dinner already, but I would eat a good chunk of that poor little animal right now.

Oy hey, that looks amazing! I need to find a suckling pig, but probably about half that size.

Just ate some meat from a front leg, delicious.

Want that pig!!!
