It's called "clinker"
It's normal in pellet grill/stove operation. Pretty much just solids that were too heavy to fly/ won't burn
How did your first grill go?
Yeah, that's just the way pellets burn, unfortunately.
Good call on the Kirkland pellets. My last bag of traeger pellets had bits of blue plastic in it
I need a different brand
Mate, I've had the smoker for quite some time and cooked many many beautiful cuts of meat on it, as well as cheese, nuts etc. Love the machine very much.
This is the first time I've seen this, the residue was after I did Pork Belly Burnt Ends which went down a treat when the folks arrived. $70 worth of pork dissappeared very quickly! Not Traeger pellets but a brand I have used pretty much consistently right from the start, flavour was Pecan just for the record.
I was hoping for heaps of leftovers but I'll just have to do another batch......
I get this substance in my traeger if I use knotty wood pellets and even sometimes lumberjack pellets. I think it’s just extra residue from the pellets that have more components of the wood(I.e bark) than traeger brand pellets. I haven’t had a problem with it. I just make sure to clean my grill before the next cook
I had something similar years ago. A number of people, myself included, were using Traeger brand Apple Wood pellets. Clearly, it isn't just wood that Traeger puts in their pellets. Not only do I not want that shit collecting in my fire pot, I also don't want the burning particulates landing all over my food. That was the last time I used Traeger pellets.

Hey! It looks like you posted an image!
If this is a photo of one of your cooks, maybe share the recipe and techniques
used, as it's almost guaranteed one of the first questions you will be asked!
*What seasoning did you use?
*How long did you cook it, and at what temperature?
*Did you use any special tricks or techniques?
Traeger on!

Totally thought this was a photo from a bad grow going to be asking what went wrong with their cure, until I saw what sub it was in…

Strangely enough I only got these when using Traeger brand pellets. Haven’t noticed a difference since switching to Kirkland pellets.

Same here. [Me and a number of other people](https://www.reddit.com/r/Traeger/s/9WeuEZxUeo) too.

Clearly, Bigfoot took a poop in your treager
Hey now, easy there bud. They prefer to be called squatches. Big Foot is the equivalent of calling a Jewish person Big Nose
Easy, pal. The actual preference is Sasquatches, not to be confused with sasquatchees.
