Traeger

Traeger is More Than a Grill!

Introducing the original wood pellet grill, Traeger has been the go-to choice for outdoor grilling for over 30 years. Backed by its founding principles, Traeger is committed to providing you with quality, easy-to-use grills built with superior workmanship. Their grills are known for having six uses suitable to meet any family’s needs. Their natural and safe wood pellets help give you that distinct taste everyone will recognize as a Traeger. No matter what type of food you’re grilling up, Traeger makes it delicious.

What is a wood pellet grill?

Wood pellet grills burn wood to effectively cook your food with a wood-fired taste that is second to none. But how does a wood pellet grill actually work? There are five main components that work together to create your fire and an even temperature for precise cooking every time you use your Traeger wood-fired grill.

1. Hopper - The hopper holds 100% pure hardwood Traeger pellets, which come in a variety of flavors. 

2. Controller - The controller delivers and maintains even temperatures throughout cooking, much like an oven.

3. Auger - The auger transports your wood pellets from the hopper to the fire pot. 

4. Fire Pot - The fire pot contains a hot rod, which starts the fire, and a fan to stoke the fire continuously. This creates a convection of heat spinning around your food. 

5. Drip Tray - The drip tray does two main things. It keeps direct flames off of your food to prevent burning, and it catches food drippings, which also prevents burning caused by flare-ups. 
*Cover your drip tray with Traeger Aluminum Drip Tray Liners for easy cleanup!

Why use a wood pellet grill?

There are many reasons to use a wood pellet grill, but four reasons stand out above the rest. Wood pellet grills offer better flavor, are easy to use, offer versatility to cook in many different ways, and provide consistent temperatures for consistent cooking.

It's a fact - cooking with wood tastes better

Traeger’s signature flavor comes from the real hardwood pellets used to fire each and every Traeger grill. Traeger owners and BBQ enthusiasts agree that wood-fiery flavor just tastes better than charcoal or gas. 

Wood-fired cooking is simple with Traeger

Traeger's digitally controlled convection heating system simplifies cooking. With easy temperature settings, much like an oven, you're able to take your eyes off of your grill without sacrificing the food. Traeger is giving you the freedom to enjoy your cookouts again!

Grill, smoke bake, roast, braise, and BBQ

Traeger grills are so versatile that you can cook six different ways: grill, smoke, bake, roast, braise, and BBQ to become a true grill master. Cook hot and fast or low and slow; just set the temperature and go! 

Perfect results with every single cook

Once you master a recipe, you would like to consistently cook the same each and every time. Traeger allows you to do so by managing the temperature for you. No more constantly tending to the fire.

How does a Traeger grill light?

To light your Traeger grill, first, make sure the power switch is off. Then, plug in your grill. You'll want to make sure the hopper is full of pellets, and your RTD temperature probe is nice and clean. 

Open the grill lid, turn the power switch on, and set your temperature dial to smoke. It should take about 4-5 minutes before the fire gets started and you hear that jet engine sound in your grill. Next, close your grill lid, set the dial to your desired temperature, and you're off and Traegering!

*If you have a 2016 Pro Series grill with the new controller and the advanced grilling logic, make sure you close your grill in the start-up cycle within about 2-3 minutes. You just want to make sure you do this because the new controllers fire up the grill a little bit faster. 

Cook like a Pro with Traeger accessories! Check out Traeger's chicken hanger! Depending on the size of your Traeger grill, you'll be able to fit 2-3 chicken hangers. Each hanger holds 12 chicken legs, and the hanger is dishwasher-safe! Convected heat will circulate around and push the heat to the center of your chicken. Because your chicken is hanging, it's self-basting for the juiciest chicken yet!
