Questions about Traeger Grills Pro Series 34 Electric Wood Pellet Grill and Smoker, Bronze

Can I use this indoors?

Answer: Only if you have the Fire Dept. or Forestry Dept. on standby to get the smoke out of your dwelling.

Answer: You can cut some skylights in your ceiling and run some ductwork up to them off of your smoke stack and you could run it like that. No sarcasm intended. Lol

Answer: You and your family and all your friends and pets would die from carbon monoxide poisoning. With that being said, sure it's possible.

Answer: No outdoors only unless you are trying to commit suicide

Answer: I would not recommend it because it is a smoker unless you like living in a cloud of delicious haze.

Answer: Tf kinda question is this lol

Can it be used without the wood pellets?

Answer: They don't need to be Traeger pellets but, yes, you need the pellets. They work like wood in a fireplace -- they create the heat by moving down an auger that transports the pellets from a firebox to a heating coil. The speed of the auger determines the temperature. The faster it moves the faster the pellets get to the fire and the higher the temperature is. I love this smoker -- not just for slow smoking, but for the best barbecued chicken I've ever made.

Answer: No, it is a pellet grill & smoker. You don't have to use only Traeger pellets Costco has there own brand a lot cheaper.

Answer: No, the pellets are the heat source

Does this come with a warranty?

Answer: I’m not sure, but I wish we would have bought from Ace Hardware. If you buy from them you get 10-20% of all chips, runs, spices etc.

Answer: 3years from the date of purchased

What is the size of the grilling grates? I need to know the dimensions of the large and small grate.

Answer: Main Rack: 34" L x 19" D

Answer: Not to be rude, but they give you the dimensions on the product page....

how many amps does it pull?

Answer: 4 amps at the beginning and then drops to 1.5 amps for the rest of the cook.

Answer: About 5 when during startup then About 2

What front shelf fit a tfb88pzb Traeger grill

Answer:

Any order or deliver issues? Traeger site is not working and gave us so many issues with billing and delivery.

Answer: I bought mine on Amazon, and paid $100 to have a guy come to the house and assemble it. It couldn't have been simpler. I will say: you're going to need a dolly/hand truck, as the box it comes on is massive, bulky, and about 120lbs!. I just wheeled mine around to the backyard, where the guy assembled it for me! It works great. Might consider a smoker tube though. As I found the Traeger smoke a little more subtle than a lump coal smoker. Use the smoker tube for about the first hour of the smoke, and it does awesome!

Can you control the amount of smoke at any given temperature setting?

Answer: No, the Pro 34 will deliver a consistent smoking experience across a given temperature range. The Ironwood series, Timberline series, and Silverton 820 can deliver more smoke between 165 and 225 degrees Fahrenheit with their Super Smoke feature.

Can I get this product assembled?

Answer: yes-- if u pay for assembly.

Answer: Instructions were easy to follow, you can do it, then grill it. Everything I've cooked has turned out wonderful. You gotta get one

Answer: Yes, but there may be a slight charge. It was shipped without the legs attached.

What drip tray liner do I use with this grill

Answer: You will want to use the Pro 34 Drip Tray Liners BAC410 for this grill.

Answer: Do you mean bucket or inner tray .The inner drip tray I put alluinum paper ,the drip bucket has traeger bucket liner.

Does this come with the grease bucket as pictured?

Answer: Yes it does. I did order the replaceable aluminum liners for fast cleaning.

Answer: Yes

Can you use this as a regular grill too?

Answer: You can’t use charcoal on this grill if that’s the question. But you can grill anything on it.

Answer: I use it to grill burgers and hot dogs all the time.

Answer: I've had mine up tp about 400° with the blanket on it. I have a Webber for everyday stuff.

Does it run on propane

Answer: No it takes pellets and Is electric.

When was yours manufactured, if purchased through amazon? saw the same model at home depot with a 2003 date on it!

Answer: I paid Amazon like $100 to have a guy come to my house and put it together! Well worth it! I did buy if on Amazon, as it was pro series, and way cheaper than they were previously priced. I got mine last November, 2019.

does this model have the new D2 drive train?

Answer: Not sure.

what are the temperature steps ?

Answer: The temperature steps in Fahrenheit begin at Smoke which is approximately 180 deg, 180, 225, and then 25 degree increments up to High. High is over 415 degrees and is used for grilling.

Answer: The temperature options are Smoke, 180, 225, 250, 275, 300, 325, 350, 375, and High.

Can you sear a steak on this grill??

Answer: Yes you can...turn it to the high setting and it’s ready to sear in a few minutes....also you can reverse-sear which tastes even better....its all explained in the Traeger manual...

Answer: Yes but we get it to done..

Is this grill also a smoker?

Answer: It is an indirect smoker . But can grill on it .

Answer: It's a great smoker.

Answer: no, very little smoke

Answer: Yes

How is this for grilling steaks, especially ribeyes?

Answer: I NEVER grill small pieces of meat on the Traeger. Respectfully, the smoker is for "low and slow" smoking. Caveat: I will low and slow smoke a 3" thick ribeye. You ever do a cowboy cut, Tomahawk ribeye? That isht needs low and slow, and just barely finished on the grill - just to get a char on the outside. I hope this helps. If you're into ribs, pork butts, 3" thick pork steaks, smoked turkey, etc. - stuff to cook low and slow for hours, and enjoy the deliciosness - then this is for you. Otherwise, best move on.

Answer: They came out fantastic. I did several kinds of steaks and even did brisket. I do not know your preference for flavored pellets. I do recommend you get the grilling cookbook from Traeger. It was a big help in kind of flavor, time to grill and preparation. I will say I am never going back to Gas. Tired of going to the store. A bag will last me about much longer. Good luck.

Answer: We use the Treager for pork, turkey, and ribs. It’s great for this application; however, the grille is better for steaks.

Answer: Fantastic. I was concerned it would only really be good for smoking meats. It grills meat of all kinds better than any gas or charcoal grill that we have ever used.

Answer: I don't know about grilling with this smoker, I only use mine for smoking. But a rib roast is another story, works great for the whole roast plus you get leftovers.

Answer: It will cook anything you want Steaks of any kind are delicious

Where are Traeger grills made

Answer: China.

I have 2 questions- does the grill require any type of electricity? Do the grilling areas require seasoning and if so, do you need to season each tim

Answer: Yes, the grill requires a 110v plug. Seasoning is done once when first fired up. The assembly manual has instructions on how to do this. I don't believe it needs any additional seasoning.

Does it work okay in a rainy climate like Seattle?

Answer: The day I got mine, it stormed out the day and I still grilled great ribs from the garage with plenty of ventilation. Garage kept is how I am keeping mine to avoid moist pellet issues.

What is the return policy for this item? I’m purchasing as a gift.

Answer: 30 days

How long do the grates last until you have to replace them cause they have started to rust?

Answer: I've had mine for almost 4 years and no signs of rust at all. I do keep it covered when it rains. We use it often and just like a cast iron skillet, the grill grates are "seasoned" to protect them.

Answer: The grates are porcelain-coated so they are easy to clean and will not rust.

Answer: Mine are original and 6 or 7 years old. No rust at all.

The title indicates that this is the pro series, but a previous answer says that it's not a pro. If I purchase this, is it a pro?

Answer: It’s a pro. Best grill ever! Every single meal is amazing. Unplanned bonus...I got my hubby back. He’s now lounging in the pool instead of tied to the grill. Worth every penny.

How often does this gets 'conveniently' lost by the shipping company during shipping? UPS is reluctant to deliver this.

Answer: I live on the 3rd floor of an apartment building and had no trouble with delivery.

How many Bostin Butts can be smoked at a time on this?

Answer: I've done 4, 9lb pork butts at a time, but that is NOT the max. I had room left on the grill... Conservative estimate? I'd say at least 6. Hope that helps.

Answer: I believe mine would hold at least 6 to 8 pork shoulders or pork butts. 8 would be a squeeze.

Answer: I would say 6

Does it really take 1-2 months to ship ???

Answer: Not from where I bought mine

Wondering if anyone has issues with their Pro 34 holding tempature and fires goig our during the cook?

Answer: Most likely it needs cleaning out. Take a ship vac clean the ashes and other stuff. They recommend doing this every 2 bags of pellets.

Answer: Check with technical support. They are excellent at figuring out the problem.

Answer: No we haven’t

Is it possible to get a good char on the meat?

Answer: Yes

Can you smoke meat on the Extra rack? If so, do you have to rotate it to the main rack mid-smoke?

Answer: No, smokes good on either rack

Answer: Yes and no you do have to rotate it since you want your meats to have a consistent color on all 4 sides

Answer: We haven't tried to smoke anything yet. Sorry, I don't know.

Is it big enough to hold a turkey?

Answer: It could hold two turkeys (around 18-20 lbs each).

Answer: Yes can only do 16lbs turkey traggers recipe says up to 16#

What’s the high temp?

Answer: I have not had it that high but you can set it from 225 all the way up to 375 in increments of 25. I assume the high would be 400. I have never had it over 325

Answer: 350 and above whichever the highest temp it will go maybe 450?

Answer: I've had mine up to 375, but the grate and drip pan need to be clean to do that. I found that running it at 375-pushing to 400 will get old grease build-ups smoking heavily, and that's not the smoke I want, so I tend to max out at 325-350.

Answer: 450

does it have a pellet dump ?

Answer: Yes. A little trap door on the back side of the hopper.

Answer: Yes. Very easy to use!

Answer: Yes on the back side of the box

Which overseas country are they made?

Answer: China now, used to be U.S.

For an 8 hour smoke of pork shoulder, how many pounds of wood pellets be required? Estimated.

Answer: I've done numerous pork butts / shoulder. A 9lb pork butt/shoulder is, as you said, about an 8 hour cook. The bags of pellets weigh about 20 pounds, when new. I get them for $18.99 at True Value Hardware. I fill the pellet box almost completely full before I start. About 4 - 5 hours in, I dump in a little more, to make sure the fire box doesn't run out of fuel. I'd say I use about 1/3 of the bag for an eight hour cook (so, roughly 6.5lbs of pellets). They say it's similar in cost to using a propane grill, but then I've never done an 8 hour cook with propane!

Answer: Roughly about 10 pounds in total, which the hopper can handle.

Answer: Probably half a bag (+/- 10 lb)

Answer: 5-7 lbs

Does it come with a cover?

Answer: No it does not come with a cover. I had to buy one separately.

Answer: No, it does not.

Do pellet grills really make a good investment when they keep breaking down?

Answer: I have not had any of my Traeger Pellet girlls break down. The last very good.

Answer: I've owned mine for 2 years and have many cooking hours without issues.

Answer: Yes but check at Costco frist you will love the food

I want to cook everything but on occasion like to grill up some hot dogs and burgers. Does this work for that?

Answer: Yes it works for hot dogs; however, if you wish to have an open flame flavor you will need to have a backup gas grille.

Answer: No matter which grill you select, Traeger's 6-in-1 ability means you can grill, smoke, bake, roast, braise & BBQ with pure, hardwood flavor! This grill makes it easy to cook like a pro! Just flip on the switch, add pellets, and set your temp.

Answer: Yes, you just turn the heat up.

What are the dimensions of the front of the hopper?

Answer: Pro 34's front hopper measurements are approximately,

Answer:

Answer: It holds about 18-20 lbs of pellets so it's about 10 inches by 10 inches by 14 inches

Is this the gen i model that traeger sells for $649?

Answer: Yes

did my traeger pro elite 34 come with a cookbook?

Answer: If u have to ask that question, we can assume it did not.

Answer: I'm not sure if yours did, but mine did.

Answer: Yes

What accessories does this come with? Cookbook, pellets?

Answer: It does come with a cookbook and also two temperature probes. Other misc paperwork that shows the options of pellets you can buy. I don't recall getting any with the Grill

Answer: none not from this vendor

Answer: NONE

What are the measurements of the grill?

Answer: Product Measurement LxWxH 27 x 53 x 49 inches.

Answer: Grill Size (HxWxD) 49x53x27 in

What is the lowest Temperature the Smoker will operate at

Answer: I've never tried to operate it at the lowest possible temperature over a prolonged period, but I'm pretty sure it will hold about 150 degrees pretty well.

Answer: 180. But it will vary 10 degrees either way

Answer: I’ve used it on days when it was 36 degrees outside but you should use the insulated blanket b/c the cook time will be longer.

Answer: There is a smoke setting to start the grill then the first setable temp is 180

How quickly should the auger spin?

Answer: It should slowly feed just enough pellets to burn/smoke.

Answer: Ours starts as soon as you turn it on to get the fire going

Is this grill WiFi enabled?

Answer: I bought mine 3 years ago. At the time it was not WiFi enabled. Maybe that has changed. It should say on the specs.

Answer: No but do offer wifi in other models

Product reviews of Traeger Grills Pro Series 34 Electric Wood Pellet Grill and Smoker, Bronze

J. Kirkland : Good grill for smoking.

Overall I like this grill. It is easy to use, easy to clean, controls make sense. I have tried a couple of times to get the temperature to 450 degrees F but highest temperature so far is 350 degrees F. But, it is in winter. Low and slow smoking works great. Boston butts and chicken have been fantastic. Steaks and pork chops I have had to finish in a smoking hot cast iron skillet to get the good char on the surface. I hope to get higher temperatures as we move toward summer.

Mitchell O'Connor : Great smoker

Good smoker. Temperature fluctuates quite a bit but that might be normal. Very happy with purchase and excited to what I’ll make in future

Renovator : One of the best grills I've purchased!

Love this grill! Easy assembly (they recommend two people) but, was very simple by myself. Been making jerky on my other traegerand has worked great. However, this grill provides a much larger space and the smoke is amazing! You can pay another $600 for the 885 with wifi, but why? Set it and let it do it's magic. Love this grill!

Victor Bosquez : Ok

Barefooter : Never going back to charcoal

Tired of propane and charcoal- Fast warm up and easy to use- should have included a shelf for the price.
Blower is a bit loud - smokes and cooks evenly.
Can cook 8 whole chickens at one time with no flare ups!

JM : Broken out of the box and downhill from there.

I assembled the grill and tried to start it. Made some racket like the insides were coming apart. I though of returning it then but maybe its a quick fix and no harm no foul. Looked online to see how to remove the pellet box. Found the auger motor was not attached to the auger. I connected it with a cotter pin but saw that it needed a screw. Put pellet box back on and fired it up. Did the initial firing. I contacted Traeger about the part and they claimed to know exactly what I needed and would get the part shipped asap. 2 weeks later an auger bushing arrives from Traeger - obviously the wrong part. I just buy the correct part on Ebay for $6.99. First test is 2 beer can chix. I fire it up, set the temp to 350. Grill never reaches anywhere near 350. Bounces from 250 to 290. I crank it to 375 hoping it'll make it to 350. Grill never makes it past 325 so I put the chix on the grill and continue to watch. About an hr later the temp has dropped to 150 and still going down. Hopper is halfway full and it's mid 50's outside so I'm disgusted. So much for my nice new toy I was showing off to family. Decided to finish the chickens in the oven. Back to Amazon it went. It does look nice and has nice cooking space but thats it. Maybe I just got a lemon but after the sorry support I got from Traeger on the auger screw, I didnt want to waste my time troubleshooting with them and possibly waiting 2-3 weeks for another wrong part.

Irina : Very good brand

The best investment ever. We are enjoying delicious and easily cooked meals.

Uncle Bud : Wish I had bought one sooner

Easy to use, great results

Anastasia Z Klossner : Love this grill

Fun directions, easy to put together and we so love the cooking. We are having fun experimenting and so far absolutely love our Traeger.

Emag3 : Quality and easy to use.

This Traeger smoker is working great so far and I have no complaints. My first ever cook came out incredible. This smoker is so easy to use.

Renee A. Lincoln : My husband loves his Traeger Grill

Got this grill for my husband, took a little longer for it to come but when he got it he was very excited. He has cooked on it several times since he got it and he loves it. Hopes to have it and use it for many years to come.

Jeff M. : Awesome!

I love this! Set and forget. Temps vary a little but I expected that. Smoked pork butts, ribs, chicken and a brisket so far and they were all delicious.

Darius : The best so far

King of all BBQ

Blair Everett : Love this thing!

Greatest purchase I’ve made!! We use the Traeger atleast twice a week, I’m sure the neighbors are sick of us. Well worth the price. Assembly was simple (you do need two people). I recommend getting the insulated jacket if you plan to smoke when the outside temp is less than 40. Great buy, you will be obsessed!

Peter L : So far so good

Very good quality of the build. Easy to assemble. Did my first smoke two days ago and ribs came ready like never before.
Temp initially was off by about 20 degrees but later decreased to about 10 or was on the spot.
I highly recommend it

TGSNmom : Great Purchase

Directions were funny. Was thinking my husband was crazy for this purchase but we are loving it more everyday

Not satisfied : Over feeding the Pellets and Flashing

I really love this smoker. I would love to give it 5 stars. It does an awsome job smoking. I have only used the smoker about 5 times and had it over feed and flash. It blew the door open and scared the crap out of me. So far it has done it three times. I was smoking a roast for about 6 hours and it flashed. I alwas follow the directions when shutting it down and I have cleaned it out twice. I could not find much information as of why this is getting too hot and flashing. It was a good thing I was not or anyone else was really close to it.. I hope this will help other buyers.

Karen L. Walker : No flair ups

Absolutely love it, everything we have cooked has been perfect

Uncle Bud : Wish I had bought one sooner

Easy to use, great results

Brian B : Best grill ever

Best grill ever. I get compliments from my wife, peers, co-workers, and comments like "this is better pork that i've ever had at any restaurant" and "that's gotta be the best pulled pork i've ever had". transform yourself into a pitmaster and it's about as difficult to use as a crock pot. turn it on, throw down some meat, and let the smoke roll. I don't use it much as a grill for burgers and brats, but I use it mainly as a smoker. fantastic.

Karen L. Walker : No flair ups

Absolutely love it, everything we have cooked has been perfect

JOHN CLOWE : Amazing

Best BBQ and smoker! Easy to use app has a lot of recipes, ideas and how to videos. Should’ve gone with pellets years ago

Jason York : Worst Nightmare Ever!!!

I bought a Traeger grill because my co-worker recommended it... It has been a nightmare. I bought what I thought was a high end grill. It came dented. I though about just using it, but it's a high end grill right? So I talked to their customer service, (who are awesome and will help you within the limits of what they're allowed), and they sent me a new hopper. The new hopper looked so bad (check pictures). So I get a third hopper. It looks great, but the auger doesn't work. I spent so long on the phone showing the fan/insides of the grill. They won't return it third party unless you pretty much take the grill apart and prove it doesn't work. So the second time they asked me if I turned on the grill to see if it works. The last time, they said because I used it, they couldn't return it. I finally called Amazon and they refunded me and told me to throw it away. If you can, get it in person directly. I am completely unhappy with my entire Traeger experience.

JOHN CLOWE : Amazing

Best BBQ and smoker! Easy to use app has a lot of recipes, ideas and how to videos. Should’ve gone with pellets years ago

ANTHONY MAIERS : Not for me.

Pellets are too expensive, too big to get warm or even cook, a smaller one might be better. Power goes out all the time at my house and this does not work if the power goes out where propane does.

I sold this for half the money, not worth the hype .

AL Garcia : Beat Smoker grill ever

Excellent smoker Grill, still learning it but I must say I am so very happy with this product, also the free Prime installation was great, the guys were here as scheduled actually a little early, 3 days after I received smoker they came and built it, I thought there would be more too it being built, but primarily just have to put legs and chimney on and the rest just slides into place.
Took them 20 mins ???? I could have done it but I assumed it would be in a lot of pieces lol. But for free install go for it.

Marty Kukol : Can’t get any better!

Excellent smoker, use it almost every day.

Crystal : Great product

My husband loves it and we’ve used it for weeks now

Amazon Customer : Best smoker on the market

Easy to assemble and fun since it calls for a 6 pack of cold beverage to assemble. This smoker is quite large we have done several racks of ribs at once on this grill

Kim F. : Five Stars

Best money I have spent in a very long time

Dr. Steve : Great Smoker-Grill. Yum, Yum, Yum!

We’ve had the grill only a few weeks, but we’ve cooked delicious ribs, brisket, pork shoulder, ribs again, and a whole chicken. We love this grill, and all the meals have been delicious. We love experimenting with different rubs. We bought this one instead of the next generation model that was several hundred dollars more. The Wi-Fi might have been fun, but I chose the larger grill instead that was within my price range. Very happy with the whole experience so far. Thank you, Traeger.

Anthony Alba : It is well made and heavy

nice make and it works awesome thanks god for Amazon

Bohemian : Best smoker

Great smoker. Well built. Set it and forget it.

p. Schofield : Going to need more Lipitor.

Easy to assemble. I have been using it almost every day. Great for ribs. Not so good for burgers or steaks because it doesn't get hot enough to sear the meat, but great for ribs-use the 3-2-1 recipe.

HT : First time Brisket on Traeger Wins Top Chef Title (at home)

This smoker will give you an advantage of a lifetime, allowing endless flavor possibilities with maximum quality. Easy set up, great quality parts, efficient heat control, and top notch brand name guides and recipes.

Daniel Patrick Mansour III : Traeger Grills TFB88PZBO Pro Series 34 Pellet Grill and Smoker, 884 Sq. In.

I received the Traeger today and assembled it in 45mins it calls for 2 people to assemble but I was able to do it myself the directions are easy to follow and the directions tell you to start with a six pack of beer i was only able to drink one beer cause it was so easy to assemble by far the best pellet grill I have ever bought I just wish I would have just bought a Traeger sooner and not have wasted money on other grills and smokers I promise you won't be disappointed

Scott Stayner : Pro-Chef Approved!

I am a professional chef. I've just purchased a catering kitchen trailer with a barbecue deck on the rear. This beautiful grill will be put to work, and after a couple of trial runs, I'm feeling confident that this is exactly the right smoker/grill for the job!

Not satisfied : Over feeding the Pellets and Flashing

rybol19 : Great for smoking not as a bbq.

Great for smoking!!! but...grilling chicken, steak, or burgers. I
Cant get it over 400 degreesao it's a slow process, even in FL.

Dan S : This is the best smoker.

This is not the fancy new model with WiFi, but works great. The digital display shows the temperature inside and the temperature in the center of the meat. Temp stays within 5 degrees of desired setting.

Pamela Smith : Award winner of: Most Regretted Purchase

I've done work for a few Ace Hardware's in the past and have always heard people rave about the Traeger brand. Well, that might have been Traeger years ago. Today, ours gives us nothing but trouble. The temperature fluctuates and rarely holds. We have used it a dozen times and have run into issues most of those times. I can recall using it since without incident. We tried many different pellets and keep them clean of dust and ash. The issue has to be in the controls. It is very frustrating. I don't even use the temperature probes because they aren't reliable.
Not worth the price. By far my most regretted purchase.

Robert Hydron : Please check your grill before the delivery company leaves.

Product had several dents in it about 3 to be exact. After removing it from the box. Even the hopper had a dent. I guess it gives it character! The box wasn’t in the best of shape. So that should’ve been a sign. But everything works so far. I wish it would’ve come with a shelf.

B : Very good grill

Very easy to assemble. This is well worth it. I am going to be doing some real cooking now.

p. Schofield : Going to need more Lipitor.

Easy to assemble. I have been using it almost every day. Great for ribs. Not so good for burgers or steaks because it doesn't get hot enough to sear the meat, but great for ribs-use the 3-2-1 recipe.

Marty Kukol : Can’t get any better!

Excellent smoker, use it almost every day.

Frederick A. Schwomeyer : Food is fantastic!

Did not dislike anything about the grill/smoker. Took a few times using it to get the time to cool down. Without direct flame it’s a small learning curve.
Everything that has come off it, salmon, chicken, burgers and a pork butt has been fantastic!

Love the grill!

Husband, Dad, and Nerd : Impressive "BBQ" NOT a "grill"

Pros:
Size (so many pork butts)
Ease of use (flip switch, that's it)
Smoking performance (low and stable)
Temperature accuracy (see picture)

Cons:
Doesn't "grill" very well (but I have a gas grill for that)

Long form:
Quick background I've owned a different brand pellet grill for 8 years, I'm very familiar with how they work.
#1 recommendation to every new user, DON'T use Traeger pellets, they are GARBAGE. Lumberjack if you can (supreme mix is great), Bear mountain is good, so are CookingPellets Perfect mix. You need a pellet with both a decent amount of a mild heat wood like oak, and 30%+ actual flavor wood. Traeger pellets are "flavored" alder, all around mediocre. 100% oak works well and provides heat well. For flavor go with a blend like a hickory (bacony), or apple (sweet), or mesquite for that Texas twang. Supreme mix and perfect mix are great all-around.

I bought this for smoking, period. The barrel design, indirect heat, plus very low temperature stability (holds 150 or 180 great) is fantastic for smoking meat low and slow. This was an area my last grill was mediocre. My past efforts and my many future plans for this thing, none involve temps over 250.

On the flip side this is NOT for high heat cooking. I can get it up to over 400 (see picture, note that was with good pellets), but my old pellet grill would do 550 with direct heat, and my gas grill almost 700. Not using this for steaks or burgers, so it doesn't bother me, but I hopefully save some people a headache.

Sean Walter : Best smoker

ace : Best grill every

I had a Webber grill be for an work grate but need new on so i got this 34 pro and happy is run grate no jamming would buy aging

chris niehoff : DON’T BUY THIS GRILL

This is a terrible product. DON’T BUY THIS GRILL. I have used it probably 5 times and it’s already broken. I will be trying to return it because it will not heat up. I don’t hear the auger feeding the pellets anymore. This product is not dependable.

you can compare the product price from Costco, wayfair, bestbuy, lowes, target, homedepot, Walmart, ebay, amazon to find the best price for you
