5 outdoor smoker brands we work on
When a backyard smoker fails at an LA-area home, our techs at Same Day Appliance Repair trace it to a handful of patterns: on ceramic kamados (Big Green Egg, Kamado Joe, Primo) it's gasket replacement (year 3-5, $145-$245), dome-thermometer accuracy ($85-$145 if replacement is needed), and hardware service (hinges, bands, dampers), with ceramic damage navigated through warranty; on pellet smokers (Traeger, Memphis) it's auger-motor service, igniter replacement (year 2-4), controller diagnostics, and WiFi-connectivity troubleshooting on the modern WiFIRE units. Big Green Egg specifically carries a lifetime ceramic warranty our techs at Same Day Appliance Repair help customers access. $89 commercial diagnostic, applied to repair.

Traeger repair details →How our techs approach outdoor smokers
Two architectures dominate: ceramic kamados (Big Green Egg, Kamado Joe, Primo) — primary service items are gasket replacement (year 3-5 typical, $145-$245), dome thermometer accuracy (calibration check, $85-$145 if replacement needed), and hardware service (hinges, bands, dampers). Ceramic damage is warranty-navigated; Big Green Egg specifically has a lifetime ceramic warranty we help customers access. Pellet smokers (Traeger, Memphis) — service items include auger motor service (the pellet-feed mechanism), igniter replacement (year 2-4 typical), controller diagnostics, and WiFi-connectivity troubleshooting on the modern WiFIRE units.
Common questions
Is the Big Green Egg lifetime ceramic warranty legitimate?
Yes, but the navigation matters. The warranty covers ceramic body cracking under normal use to original purchaser. We document failure on-site and coordinate with the customer through BGE's warranty process — they ship the replacement ceramic component, we install. Labor is separately billable. This is the most genuinely warranted product in the smoker category.
My Traeger pellet auger is jamming. What's wrong?
Almost always pellet quality or moisture absorption — Traeger pellets that have absorbed humidity swell and jam the auger feed. Less commonly: auger motor wear (year 3-5 typical), or controller-board issue interrupting feed signals. We diagnose by removing pellets, inspecting the auger directly, and testing motor function.
Should I winterize my smoker for LA winters?
Not strictly necessary — LA winters don't typically threaten ceramic kamados or weather-protected pellet smokers. We do recommend covering the unit when not in use (UV degrades gaskets and seals over time) and bringing pellet smokers indoors during heavy-rain weeks if they're not under permanent shelter.
