Anyone repainted a Traeger?

[Deleted member 20812]

Mine has some rust on it. I just replaced some parts, so the internals are good. Has anyone taken a wire wheel and some high temp rattle can paint to these?

Never have but, ought to work fine.

I painted a weber kettle with high temp paint and was happy with the results.

I use a rattle can called Stove Bright on my wood burning stoves with great results. They hit temps above 800° on the regular and still look fantastic

Painted all my welded camp stoves with Rust-oleum High Heat w/o any issues.

I just had to replace the auger motor on mine. And it is rusting in spots too even though it’s covered and under a covered porch. For being $800 I have not been impressed with the durability.

Did mine that I keep at the lake or I’d show a pic. Rattle can hi temp, looks good as new.

Stove black or stove paint.

My brother in law has had to replace the computer on his twice. I have one at home and another at the cabin and have never had an issue. But my BIL uses his probably 250 days a year.

I have one, and use it. Anything else to add?

This one is about 7-8 years old, and has been used a lot. Really, it’s been pretty trouble free. I’ve replaced the igniter rod, temp sensor rod, and the power cord. Other than the rust, it’s operating just fine.

For the price of a non rezy elk tag, I’ll fix this one up

Auger in mine went bad a couple years ago. The part and my labor was totally worth it vs buying new

I cook on mine 3-4 times a week all year on average. Between the traeger and the black stone we haven’t cooked inside in 3 weeks.

Old auger motor vs new. They wanted $78 on traeger website vs $25 on Amazon!

Through mine in the trash after 14-years and bought a new one!

I know on the Weber forum many believe that covers trap moisture and prevent proper air flow when not in use.
