Remove Pellet Hopper for (Easier) Intallation
By EGS
I own the Traeger Junior, and I was unhappy with the medium setting on the three position temperature switch (it was too hot, often close to 300 degrees), so I decided to upgrade.

I recommend installing the new controller by removing the hopper:

1. Remove the two screws on the old controller.
2. Remove the pellet hopper (it's only held on by 4 screws). I also removed the 4 screws on the bottom of the hopper to make the final installation easier.
3. Feed the old controller through the front of the hopper. This will allow you to completely remove the pellet hopper and get it out of the way.
4. Install the temperature probe (RTD) per the directions; the diagram isn't great, but it's much better than the written directions.
5. Cut all the the zip ties.
6. To keep from improperly connecting the wires or having to study the wiring diagram, simply disconnect the old wires (pull apart the molex connectors with a slight rocking motion)and reconnect the new wires ONE AT A TIME.
6. At this point your done with the connections. I turned on my Traeger briefly to make sure the fans turned on and the LED illuminated. Make sure there aren't any wires interfering with either fan.
7. I used lots of zip-ties to clean up the installation.
8. Feed the new controller through the hole in the hopper.
9. Attach the hopper
10. Attach the controller
11. Look under the hopper to make sure there aren't any wires interfering with the fan(use more zip-ties if necessary), and install the bottom of the hopper.

Definitely get this
By Veasna
I am a college student, so I bought the junior Traeger model, which does not come with the digital thermostat kit. After smoking my first set of ribs I went straight to my computer and bought this because controlling the temperature with the 3-speed was quite a pain. Many burger patties and racks of ribs later I am still completely satisfied with my purchase.

Note: This takes a bit of work to install, so unless you are at least somewhat comfortable working with electronics then I would find a friend who is to install it. Still, don't let this deter you from buying it. The kit does not require any soldering to install.

Installation straight forward. Really enhances your Traeger grill
By gregt590
I concur that Traeger's BAC236 Digital Thermostat Kit really enhances the grill and is well worthwhile. I ordered and received mine directly from Traeger online (www.traegergrills.com), catching one of their $70 sales they periodically have on it.

I should point out that the BAC236 control unit I received looks newer and more featured than the unit shown here on Amazon, containing a separate power on/off switch, and knob settings for a Shut Down Cycle, Smoke, and 9 temperature settings mostly in 25 degree steps from 180 and 225 up through "High" (400 degrees?). Its manual says it is for Models BBQ055, BBQ070, BBQ07E and BBQ075. I ordered and successfully installed it on my model BBQ055 "Junior" grill essentially turning it into a model BBQ155 "Junior Elite".
