Review on Stanbroil Replacement Barbecue Traeger Pellet by Gary Bush

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quick Overview *Updates*

The factory motor in my Traeger Pro 34 was getting worse and worse and eventually just couldn't move the auger (it was hardly used which is sad). Anyway, I needed a motor and I needed it fast as my wife decided we're doing a turkey on a traeger this year. I ordered this unit on a Friday night and it appeared in my inbox on Sunday! I was done in 15 minutes! My Traeger has never sounded or performed this well since day one, which leads me to believe that my factory engine has never been 100% running. At the time of writing this review it was 11/27/19, I've only used my Traeger twice since replacing it with this motor but the real test will be tomorrow when I'm cooking a turkey but from the looks of it, it's me I guess this motor will have to serve me well for a few years. Hec for $23 how can you be wrong. A quick tip for anyone working with equipment below the Traeger Pro Series hopper. Loosen the 2 screws holding the temperature scale bezel which will allow you to slide this part through the funnel allowing the funnel to fully disengage and get out of the way. I've done some stupid work on the Traeger a couple of times, only ever loosening 4 screws hoping the funnel will stand up, in this case the funnel was still very much in the way. I will update this review later and see how this motor performs over the long run. Update: 06/12/2020 Well, the first one broke after about 6 1/2 months of use. The motor just got very weak, and it got to the point that it just wouldn't push the pellets anymore. I contacted support and received a response within a few hours. Somehow they managed to get me a new motor the next morning! Impressive. I hope this new block will be available to me for at least a year! 5 stars just for how quickly they were able to replace my unit. Thank you!
