Not sure. Our Green Mountain manual says higher temperatures, less smoke.

I went with 375 that is what the Traeger recipe called for. Lack of smoke has been an issue I have had with other recipes starting not to like this Traeger grill my old Bradly smoker did pretty good but hard to control the heat. Randy

I smoked some chicken legs on mine tonight.
I smoked them on the smoke setting for half an hour before turning them up.
I also did ribs a few days low and slow.
I find it takes longer to cook than the recipes suggest. I have not done scalloped potatoes.

I'm not knocking Treager. Lot of people I know have em and love em. Our grill has recipes for things other meat to smoke. They want to be versatile and get you outside cooking. First time using that recipe? Try a lower temperature first to get smoke rolling then bump it up to finish. It'll take longer but may give the taste you're after.

375 is too hot, 250-300 would be better. Also, you may not have enough moisture in there, did you soak the wood at all or is there a water pan in the grill?

I also find if I want something really smokey, after a heavy smoking session cool and wrap, then refrigerate for a day or two. The smoke soaks in a little more. I know that ain't gonna work dinner tonight, just food for thought.
