Traeger states that using other pellets will void the warranty. The manufacturer of these pellets states otherwise. Anyone have anything to say about this?

There is a law that prevents any mfr (Traeger) from enforcing a implied warranty like that. But there is no law that prevents them from putting those stickers on the grills.

My Traeger is out of the warranty period so I have used these. They burn just fine. On the other hand I do prefer the treager pellets because of the flavor.

Traeger wants you to buy there pellets as they're a money maker. BIG money.They are either oak or alder (depends on where you live) and contain flavored oils.Claiming it would void the warranty is akin to Chevron Oil making a car and telling you you had to buy their gas.A pellet is a pellet. There is no such thing as a 'food grade' pellet so everyone falls back to PFI standards.http://pelletheat.org/pfi-standards/

Don't know. I used to use it in a damp apartment but we have since bought a home and the pellets have been in my garage for over a year without being use. Try contacting the manufacturer.

All I Can Tell Is , I Shot Alot Of Different Pellets In My RWS 34, And These Pellets In My Opinion Are Absolutely The Best. Try Some, I Would Be Surprised If You Didnt Like Them. Hope This Helped You. D.L. Miles

Yes you will notice a difference. Traeger uses oils in their pellets and aren't 100 percent wood whereas cookinpellets are all wood no fillers and no oils.

It's an American company, but if I remeber correctly the unit is made in China. It is much heavier duty than Treager. I've ran hundreds of puns of pellets through it with minimal issues. The 6 year warranty means of you have a problem, they are quick to call and quick to ship new parts!

I've never even heard of a Traeger pellet grill model 070, but if it has a conventional grate for supporting the food over the heat, then it's likely the GrillGrate will be suitable if it will fit on the Traeger grill.

Like the others who have already commented, I have never had an issue with any of the 5 clips that I use. I've used 6 different kinds of pellets in them and they've all worked fine. Your clip may be worn or defective, and also make sure you are using the proper caliber pellets.

The electricity usage is not that significant, at least in our smaller sized Traeger. I think the pellets might cost a bit more than charcoal or propane, but the taste difference and performance of the Traeger for us far outweighs the other 2. Since buying our Traeger, we have not used our Weber charcoal grill nor our propane grill, that's how much more we prefer the Traeger.

Depends on the pellets used, the better pellet the less residue. But overall quick simple, oil it up and keep shooting. I got at least 100 shots in before needs cleaning.

Yes. I had the same problem. Call Rikon and be as ass about it. I gave up the first time and bought another saw from Amazon. When the second motor died I called three or four times and was a complete ass. They sent me a replacement for free because it has a one year warranty. If you are using it for meat, you have to cover the motor with a plastic bag before you wash it down. Otherwise, the motor isn&#699;t well sealed and moisture will condense it in and destroy the brushes. My best advice, if they don&#699;t replace it never buy another. It really is poorly constructed and I&#699;m only using it until it dies and getting a Hobart or a Biro saw.

Yes, but only once and in the beginning. It was a combination of bad pellets and me not being swift and concise when I pulled back the bolt. I regularly oil the bolt now and can start to feel when it needs oiled again. I have had the best luck and accuracy with RWS Superpoint Extra .22 pellets. I have literally tried most of the brands. I have nearly 3000 pellets I won't put through the rifle now. Some I knew would jam the bolt just how they fit in the mag. Its really not the bolt jamming, for me it was bad ammo not loading into the barrel properly resulting in a jammed bolt. I used a barrel cleaner to unjam it, with the assistance of a hammer. I thought it was ruined. I wouldn't hammer the bolt lever, as my friend did with his. It worked but bent it to hell, resulting in replacing the bolt completely. I disassembled mine completely and inspected the barrel entry, luckily there was no apparent scarring. I love this airgun and have modded every aspect of it. I'm shooting just under 1400fps with 14.5gr ammo. Rodents and squirrels are dispatched effectively and humanely. Hope this helps

The issue is not damage in transit. The metal from which the trap is made is too thin. It simply cannot the absorb the impact of a pellet without significant damage. The pellet that I used were for target shooting not the ones used for hunting. I can send a picture showing the damage that one pellet caused.

I shoot in my bedroom sometimes(BIG bedroom)and the pellets come onto the floor sometimes. So some type of material might stop this. I have not had it long enough to say any more. The T shirt trick might stop that. Have not tried it yet.

I've been using Gamo pellets (lead and platinum) and had no problems. Had it dead on in about 20 min.

Are you putting a drop of gun oil on the co2 cartridge as suggested in the owners manual? 2nd does this usually happen right after you putas new ccartridge in? Mine does for some reason. I shoot emptying twice after putting in a new cartridge. That seems to help. It sounds stupid but make sure the pellets aren't in backwards.

I have shot many pellets through mine without any problems. Maybe there is a pellet stuck in the barrel? Not sure what the return policy is, but if you can't get it open returning may be the best option.
