I do use foil. I’m thinking about taking about .1” off the right hand side to give it just a little more slope.

I have my grill nice and level, I agree, with the drip tray installed properly it barley has enough angle to drain. If it’s a pork belly it will eventually get enough fat to find its way out. But like chicken thighs, it will just puddle up.

Make sure your fire pot isn’t full of unburned pellets or ash. Make sure you auger is turning.

I just had rib juice leak through where the hopper housing meets the smoker body. Is this what you're talking about?

So I got my Stampede about 3 weeks ago. I had a few growing pains that initially left a bad taste in my mouth. I had paint issues, poor wifi signal and an auger jam on my 2nd cook. I almost turned around and sold it on OfferUp. In my haste I left a 2 star review on RecTeq’s website. I thought it...

I prefer the 3 vent holes vs a smoke stack. My old Traeger was 6 years old and I cooked on it 5 nights a week. That smoke stack was like a black greasy fondue of death! It was a pain to clean and would drip all over the ground.

I had some paint bubble on the lower body of the grill. The sent me a can of primer and a can of paint

I had to go to Cox and get a extender. It’s only on the side of my 2 car garage. The router is right against the exterior wall too!

I had the same issue on my 2nd cook with my brand new 590. I live in AZ where it’s dry as hell and my pellets were stored in a spare bedroom. Bone dry! I went to start the grill and it didn’t light. I found the auger wasn’t moving so I called tech support and the guy had me drop the bottom of...

I been using Smoke House, the orange bag from Sam’s Club. Zero problem and they are affordable. I did have a auger jam with the blue bag. So I returned those.

Mine did the same thing. Don’t want to eat that junk but I don’t think it will effect the overall durability of the grill. Not a problem for me personally.
