Why Cook With Traeger?

TASTE: Food cooked on a Traeger pellet grill tastes better than food cooked on gas or charcoal grills. A wood fire is a more natural, healthier way to cook.

SMOKER: Absolutely the best smoker you can own. Cook gourmet smoked foods in your own backyard. Hardwood smoke penetrates the food, adding tremendous flavor. Smoke fish, jerky etc.

SAFETY: Far safer than either gas or charcoal grills. No gas leaks or smoldering briquettes to worry about. Fire safety officials love our grills!

AUTO-START SYSTEM: Automatically lights the pellets every time you turn on the power switch. You’re cooking in just minutes! No Flare-ups: Our exclusive, patented E-Z Grease Drain System transports grease drippings out of the cooking chamber into a galvanized catch bucket. There’s less chance of frustrating flare-ups developing, while you cook.

VERSATILITY: Your pellet grill is four appliances in one! Smokes, Barbecues, Grills, Bakes. The three position cooking control switch lets you cook anything in a Traeger!

HEALTHIER COOKING: Cooking on a pellet grill adds zero fat, cholesterol or calories to your food. Indirect cooking systems are recommended by the National Cancer Institute because they produce less benzopyrene.

 

How the Traeger Works 

 

All natural wood pellets are poured into the hopper.

When you push the “On” switch, the hot rod activates for about four minutes, igniting the pellets in the firepot.  The auger automatically feeds pellets from the hopper to the firepot where convection air is added, acting like a miniature forge.

Heat and wood smoke surround the food, resulting in fantastic taste.   Drippings are channeled out of the cooking chamber into an external bucket for easy disposal.

Flipping the three-position switch to “High” allows you to grill.  On “Medium” you can slow cook.  The “Smoke” setting allows you to hot-smoke food.  In the “Smoke” mode, the grill delivers an even smoke to your food without having to tend the fire.  Traeger gives you the convenience of gas, the flavor of real wood.
