Customer Reviews for Traeger Pellet Sensor

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] great product very helpful, easy to assemble saves a lot of time.

Rating provided by a verified purchaser

Very easy to install, and automatically is added to app readout. Only design flaw is it reads directly over the auger, so it reports low pellets “too early” when there are still a lot of pellets in the overall hopper. Otherwise a very good product.

The pellet sensor did exactly what it was supposed to do. We are very happy with this purchase.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Pellet sensor goes off when unit is still 80% full

The sensor is a good way to track you pellet levels, but it could be better.

Working great! Had to calibrate twice, but working great now.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Not worth the money. Should be included with the grill.

At first I did not believe I needed this, it was more of a toy add on. After cooking 2-3 times during the week everything from Chicken and Steak to Vegetables and just hotdogs for the kids. Plus slow cooking on the weekend. the Grill (No pun intended) Burns through the pellets. This has helped me realize when I should order more pellets. I would recommend if you are a serious cooker or like to be organized like me you pick this up.

Easy to install. Great addition. Now my phone and watch can get a notification that my pellets are down to 25%. Makes smoking so much easier.

Product works great and provides alarms when it senses the pellets are low. Love that the alerts come from the grill as well as through the app.

I like the sensor because it has the ability to prevent you from running so low that you drain the wormdrive and going through another initial firing process. However, because of where the sensor sits in the hopper, and how the pellets never fall directly to create a perfect pile under the sensor it constantly tells me im low when really it is just that part of the hopper that is low. In reality, the pellet level will triple when you shift the pellets around. The hopper needs to be designed so that the pellets fall orderly. 9 time out of ten it sends you false alarm warnings, but it could help during long smoking sessions for, say, a brisket. Worth the 80 bucks, but could be improved.

Pretty nice device. Works well with the Android. Easy

If you get a Wifire grill you need to make the extra investment for the sensor... especially if you plan to cook meat for long hours as the feeder cam have pellets that stop feeding due to angle in the box.

Good accessory helpful and would recommend to purchase

I needed a sensor because I once ran out of pellets, and since then I have been kind of obsessed with pellet level. Now I do not have to worry since my app tells me when I need to add pellets. The reason I did not give it 5 stars is that, even after calibrating, the level indication is really not accurate. When the hopper is 80% full, the app says ~40%. I just am thankful that it is erring on the conservative side, so I add pellets earlier than desirable, rather than after running out of them. Even with the accuracy problem, which others have also noted, I feel it is a necessary addition to my Traeger Pro 575. I recommend it for the peace of mind it gives me.

Excellent accessory. It only took one time of running low on pellets and having to restart the grill for me to realize that I needed this.

Definitely a needed option, makes the worry of running out go away

You have to have this! Like I have said on the grill itself. Takes all the step out of being a rookie and makes you more efficient with the app!

Easy install worked great could not ask for a better pit

Easy to install and pretty accurate. No need to watch or fill until necessary. Alerts to your phone through the app

Very useful when using the Traeger app to notify you when pellets are low.

Doesn’t give an accurate number of pellets remaining. I wouldn’t waste your money on this.

Excellent idea! Great to monitor from the app and never run out of pellets!

Installed easily and works perfectly for those long smoke events. Makes cooking/smoking with the Traeger even better and easier.

Super easy to install and calibrate. Great addition!

It a a lot better than running out but the percentage is a bit off even when calibrated

The sensor and the WiFire are great, but it would be nice if maybe you thought about all the rest of us with older Traeger. I'd love to upgrade without having to spend an arm and leg to get a new grill. My old one works great, and I don't feel the need to go into debt over a grill! Thanks for making great products and just maybe think about your established Traeger users.

Kind of the missing link for every D2-controller Traeger. Install took 5mins and the sensor work as promised.

Works great. Never have to guess how many pellets are left.
