Questions about Traeger Grills Pro Series 22 Electric Wood Pellet Grill and Smoker, Bronze
Q:
Can you cook a chicken standing up in it?
Answer: Yeah, but you'll burn your feet.
Answer: yes
Q:
Reading customer reviews seems to be a fifty fifty chance of operating correctly and poor customer support. What can you say to me to make the purchas
Answer:
Answer:
Answer: Wife bought me the older version of this model - about 5-6 years ago for a birthday present. Awesome grill - worked as advertised- easy to assemble. However even though I kept it covered it rusted out and I'll be pushing it to the curb. Disappointed as our propane grill is 15 years old and looks nearly new. Uncertain if Traeger has implemented treating the metal yet or not.
Answer: Follow the set up instructions and you should be fine... I have had no issues with it and I'm very happy with it.
Q:
Does this model have the wifire technology?
Answer: No it does not. If you want Wirefire Technology you have to get the new 2019 Pro 575 or Pro 780 model.
Answer: No
Answer: No it doesn't
Answer: Yes it does.
Q:
I sent this item back a day after it was received. I still have not received my money back. When will I get my money refunded?
Q:
(1) Is this the Ridgeline? (2) Does it have two temperature probes?
Answer: It does have two temperature probes but does not have the wifire technology. However, the grill/smoker works great!
Answer: Yes this model has two temp probes
Q:
Do you deliver the trager grill to anchorage alaska?
Answer: Have to ask Amazon
Q:
Can you mix pieces of charcoal with the wood pellets if the charcoal is in small pieces the same size as wood pellets?
Answer: I would say NO! Wood pellets have a size and dimension that are calculated at an assigned burn ratio to asure a proper temperature and cooking times. Charcoal is burnt wood and has a different burn ratio and would give improper cooking time and jam up the fuel delivery system. The Charcoal would work on other open fire grill, however if you would like to test your theory please do and post the results.
Answer: No, the grill is designed to use only wood pellets as fuel.
Answer: No it is made for only pellets.
Answer: I would not do so! It might damage the delivery mechanism that feeds the fire.
Answer: It does not appear so
Q:
does the grill have a warranty
Answer: Traeger Pellet Grills LLC warrants this barbecue grill against defects in material and workmanship under normal use and maintenance for a period of three (3) years from the date of original purchase. I gleaned this information from the Traeger internet site. Hope it helps.
Q:
how do you clean the ashes?
Answer: I use shop vac.
Answer: A Shop-Vac can be used to remove the ashes or scooped out with a spoon.
Q:
How hot will the grill surface get? Will it boil six quarts of water?
Answer: The interior gets to around 400 degrees, so eventually it will boil, but I don't like running mine that hot for that long because it can get burn back in the fire pot and feeder tube
Answer: Traeger's work similar to a convection oven. The water will boil once it has reached over 200F.
Q:
How do you get more of a smoke ring, i cant find a p-hole i guess this model doesn't have one, i placed in smoke position for 45mins. please help.
Answer: Some newer grills no longer have a p-setting but if you are looking for more of a smoke flavour, we suggest smoking the meats between 160F-225F for longer cooks at lower temps will produce more smoke flavour and the smoked ring on the meat.
Answer: Pending on model you won’t have a p setting.
Q:
How long is the power cord?
Answer: The power cords for our grills are approximately 6 ½ feet long
Answer: I would say no more than 5 feet. I attach my cord to a short heavy duty extension cord which I unplug after use. It is adequate for my need.
Answer: 6 ft
Q:
Is it self fed pellet?
Answer: Yes, each and every pellet is carefully selected for its commitment and loyalty to the Traeger gods. The auger carries them to the fire pit but each one jumps in voluntarily, without question or delay. It's a beautiful thing ...
Q:
Is this reversible? I would like to have the pellets on the right and the smokestack on the left. All the pics show the reverse.
Answer: The new one is reverse from last years model. Pellets on the right. Not reversible.
Q:
Is this the same one being sold on HSN?
Answer: Yes, and the one on HSN offers you a free shelf, cover, and 2 bags of pellets and $100 cheaper the shelf alone is $59
Answer: I have no idea if this is being sold on HSN. I personally don't watch that network. Check model numbers and you'll be able to determine if they match.
Answer: I am not sure but its worth the purchase. One of the best purchases of my 53 year life. I know its a little high but its built to last and makes bbq and smoking so easy. Come join the Traeger club, get the book and app for phone for tasty recipes.
Answer: If the descriptions match, I would guess it is.
Q:
Does this come with a cover?
Answer: No cover came with mine.
Answer: No it does not come with a cover, however they are available on Amazon for each specific model!
Answer: Nope
Q:
Hi there does this traeger have the wifi option?
Answer: No it doesn’t
Answer: No
Q:
Can i chang plug to 220v? Its free volt?
Answer: No, you cannot change the plug to 220V.
Answer: Don’t think so.
Q:
What's the difference between the pro 22 silver and bronze series
Answer: The Silver series is built to be portable, has a smaller pellet hopper and a smaller cooking surface (300 sq. in.). The Silver models are coined "Tailgater's whereas the Bronze models are not portable, have larger pellet hoppers and larger cooking surfaces (572 sq. in.). Check out Traeger's web site for more specific details on each and every available model.
Answer: I believe that it's just the color
Answer: None that I have seen.
Answer: Color...literally color.
Q:
What is the main difference between this grill and the Traeger Eastwood 22" grill? Is the controller on the newer model different?
Answer: Controller and two temp probes
Q:
can it be packed in two boxes?
Answer: Comes packed from the factory in one box. Very poorly I might add. Mine came damaged with one outside damaged to the box. I returned it but didn’t replace because when I did the price had gone but $100 and they would honor the old price. Inside packing protection is terrible. When the UPS man picked up he said he was picking them up returned damaged all the time. I bought a different brand, from a different vendor. It arrived with no damage.
Answer: Mined came packed in one box quite nicely. All parts were well protected and in good condition.
Answer: I comes unassembled in one box, everything to from the tools to very detailed assembly instructions to start cooking. You will have to purchase the wood pellets. I hope this helps
Answer: The hoper and the barrel are connected, only the legs and the chimney are separate. So technically yes
Q:
How many turkeys will this traeger cook?
Answer: I guess it would depend on the size of turkey. I think two 16 pound birds would fit nicely
Answer: At least 2. Possibly 3.
Q:
Do I need the insulating blanket for my pro 22 during winter in Montana?
Answer: We recommend only using an Insulation Blanket when the ambient temperature is 30° F (-1°C) or lower. Insulation blankets should also only be used when the grill's temperature is set to 350 degrees or lower. If you are planning a cook in temperatures above freezing, or a cook that requires the grill be set higher than 350 degrees, remove the insulation blanket, as this could cause damage to the grill and the blanket, and in some cases, fire. Pro series 22 insulation blanket Part number (BAC6226)
Answer: Not having to deal with Montana winters as I live in south Texas, I cannot answer your question, but you have no liquid in or on the grill to freeze. I do have mine covered with a grill cover that is not insulated and I have had no issues.
Q:
I’m thinking about purchasing this Traeger for my outdoor kitchen. Can the unit sit flat on a counter without the legs?
Answer: I wouldn’t think so; build a shorter platform that can withstand the heat (such as from bricks or concrete blocks)
Answer: the best I can determine is no this model needs its legs
Answer: No. Because of how the pellet box and the grease drain are set up.
Q:
What is the height to the top of the door if it is open? It's going outside and I'm building a small roof to shelter weather.
Answer: About 5 ft I’d give a little extra room too
Q:
what size cover fits ?
Answer: The BAC379 22 series grill cover is a perfect fit. I highly recommend this cover and the Traeger grill, one of the best purchases I have ever made and definately get the cover to protect and preserve it. Enjoy all that good food you are about to smoke...
Answer: I recently ordered the Traeger BAC503 Pro 575/22 Series Full Length Grill Cover, Black from Amazon and it is a perfect fit!
Answer: I don’t know the specific size, but I got an off-brand cover that said in the description that it fits this specific model/size traeger and it was very accurate.
Answer: Any cover for a 22" barrel smoker. Traeger cover is best.
Q:
Which drip liner do I use with the Pro22 ?
Answer: For Pro 22 the part number for the drip tray liners is BAC507.
Answer: Tin foil works as good as anything.
Q:
What size turkey can this Pro 22 smoke?
Answer: 14lb
Q:
Does the trager pro 22 grill come with a drip bucket?
Answer: Once you purchase the grill, it also includes the drip bucket.
Answer: There is a galvanized tin bucket to catch the fat and/or drippings. It is beneath the smoke stack.
Answer: It does. I line mine with tin foil to keep the bucket clean.
Answer: Yes it does. You can even see it in this picture handing on the right side. Enjoy!
Answer: yes
Answer: Yes
Answer: Yes
Q:
Does the treager grill pro series 22 572sq in model #tfb57pzbo come with a front shelf?
Answer: The front shelves for the Pro 22 models are not included.
Answer: It does not. I do recommend that you get one. I find that I use the hopper cover lid to put things on
Q:
Doe this grill comes with the temperature probes?
Answer: The 575 does.
Q:
What Temperature will this go to?
Answer: 450 deg F, according to literature....so far, have only had it up to 350. Takes a while to rise up to 350...have to keep the lid closed..."set it and forget it"!
Q:
what are the measurements And weight of the shipped unopened box? I’m looking to bring it on a plane trip and need measurements
Answer: As I can remember it's about 4x2x2 and about 140 lbs
Q:
Can anyone verify the internal dimensions of the barrel and the location of the fire box (centered or # inches from side)?
Answer: I am unable to give you the internal dimensions of the barrel but the actual firebox is located dead center within the lower portion of the barrel and somewhat covered with a tilted drip pan that directs grease flow to the external catch bucket. Hope this helps.
Q:
does it come with a grease tray? One offer was a addon
Answer: Yes, it does come with a drip tray for the grease.
Answer: This model does come with a pan under the grill that catches the grease from the grill. You must remove and clean the pan after heavy grease or food particles that falk through the grill racks. This model does come with an small bucket to catch and burnt pellets ashes from under the grease pan.
Answer: My grill came with a grease bucket, for which I purchased a disposable liner which can be recycled. There is a tray inside the grill that funnels the grease to the bucket. I do cover the tray with heavy duty aluminum foil. Clean up is much easier by doing this.
Answer: It comes with a tray which you will cover with foil. The grease flows downward towards a little bucket which is also lined with foil to collect the grease.
Answer: Yes it came with a grease tray. I like to cover it with foil it helps with the clean up. I use heavy duty foil. ????
Answer: There is a tray that slopes down to the included bucket. I would suggest adding the bucket liners, but heavy-duty foil works fine on the tray.
Answer: Yes, and tray drains into bucket on the side of the smoker.
Answer: It has a stainless steel tray for the grease to spill on. It does not have a tub like tray to catch it
Answer: Yes and a bucket to collect all the excess grease

Q:
How does Pro 22 compare to Pro 575?
Answer: I am not familiar with the Pro 575. However the Pro 22 does not disappoint! It is an amazing grill and very easy to use. My family loves it.
Answer: 575 has the wifire controller. Pro 22 is the digital pro controller. Most of the rest is similar I believe
Answer: I looked at both and got the 575. It is the newer model and has far superior temp control in 5 degree increments. It also has the internet connection that u can even go uptown for more beer and still monitor or change temp on the grill. Got it for the same price as the 22 on a fathers day sale.
Answer: The pro 575 is WiFi and this one is not. Also its much cheaper

Q:
Can you grill and sear steaks on this or is this low and slow only?
Answer: I have do a REVERSE SEAR. Cook low & slow (smoke taste) until almost (10>15 degrees below) at desired temperature, as measured with auxiliary meat thermometer (rare, medium rare, well done). Pull meat off grill, close lid, turn up to maximum temperature (about 15 minutes). Return meat to grill, close lid, about 15 minutes per side (until thermometer indicates your desired final (rare, medium rare, well done) temperature. Remove from grill & let rest 10>15 minutes. Slice & serve!
Answer: The temp adjust to a high setting above 375 degrees. You can grill steaks but not sear because there is no direct flame that hits the meat. Every smoker recipe you can find will instruct you to sear the meat first on a stove then proceed to the smoker. Overall I would highly recommend this grill, it can cook anything from bbq to cookies or a cake. You will not regret this purchase...
Answer: Grill, sear, bake, smoke. Temps go up to 450.

Answer: I have been using a 15 foot 16/3 outdoor cord. and its working fine.
Answer: A 16/3 outdoor extension cable should work just fine. Generally, any common extension cord will work as long as it has a grounding plug.
Answer: We use a regular outdoor extension cord with no issues.
Product reviews of Traeger Grills Pro Series 22 Electric Wood Pellet Grill and Smoker, Bronze
Amazon Customer : Support might as well be nonesixtent
Being a novice cooking with wood pellets, their written directions were contradicted by verbal explanations on their "hot" line.
Bob : It's a Traeger, what's to say
This was a replacement for an older Traeger Jr. which has now been relegated to the campsite. Where have I been. This is still a small smoker but perfect for two or even up to a family of four the key is that it has all the spiffy stuff, the burner has been moved to the center "woohoo" the new latest control is awesome. More accurate, built in temp probes and the cooldown helps with reducing ash buildup which means less cleaning. Also hopper size has been increased for the smaller smokers, more burn time per filling and added feature is a trap door on the hopper that makes pellet changing as hard as making sure you have a spare bucket for it to drop into. Thumbs up, Traeger strikes again.
Karen Pierucci : Traeger Grill
I have had this item for 6 months and it is still not operational. The manufacturer is responsive, however, the grill is still not operational. The grill was very easy to initially assemble and appears to be made of quality materials. To date this grill is USELESS and was a huge investment with no return.
Coleman B. Ramsey : Love this grill
I used my new Trager today. It was easy to assemble! I smoked several rib eye stakes and reversed seared those bad boys. I was amazed at the flavor. I can not wait for the holidays to get here so I can smoke some turkeys. I am impressed.
Ian N Wolter : Buyer beware
Horrible it lasted 5 weeks. I had problems with the temp control and I called costumer service and was sent a new control assembly. Changed it out and still having the same problem. Now I’m past my return window. Waste of A LOT of money!
Kojak : Brand new, dented from delivery, and auger doesn’t work. Disappointed.
Well, so far it’s a 1-star review because I just fired it up and find that the auger isn’t feeding the pellets to burn and heat up the grill. Brand new Traeger, so excited for the first smoke and...disappointment.
Also, it was slightly banged up during delivery with internal scratches most likely due to the screws and bolts that came out of their packaging during delivery and were spread out inside the grill and spread out in the box. There was also a noticeable dent which interferes with the lid closing completely.
So far, not the best experience with Traeger or the Amazon delivery...
Rod : Just what we wanted
Use it for cooking everything form ribs to biscuits.
Brandon Papais : Buyer beware
First time I used the smoker the temperature would not stay where I set it. I set it to smoke with the lid open and the temperature increased to 250 and was still climbing when I shut it down after 15 minutes. When I called Traeger the “customer service” representative tried to make it my fault. Saying I did something wrong. The second time I called I was told if the service tech wouldn’t come to my house I would have to rent a truck to bring the smoker in to the service center. Not really what I would expect from a company that touts the best warranty and product in the industry There is a lot of other smokers out there. I would seriously consider a different brand and you will save yourself some money too.
Tasia : Grill Came Dented - Still Awesome
I'll start by saying I'm a fan of Traeger and their products, my first Traeger is still in great condition after 7 years, and will be going to a friend so they can enjoy the awesomeness that is Traegering. I was happy to come across the Pro 22 for a good price and made the decision to upgrade.
Assembly - easy, two people almost necessary, but if you've got decent upper-body strength you can flip the grill upside down to install the legs and the leg braces. The packing material provided braces the round grill while it is flipped over, which is a wonderful design.
Use - if you've never experienced a grilling/smoking with a Traeger, I highly recommend it...there are many like it, but they simply do not compare.
Shipping/Packing - as I mentioned, the packing material is useful for the install, but it does not serve to protect the grill during shipping. I received the grill and immediately unboxed to begin assembly. There was a large dent on the back of the grill which I can only assume came from shipping. The box did have a portion that was ripped but I didn't think it would have made such a major dent. This dent is about 7" long and is quite unsightly.
I won't be submitting a return for a new grill, but would definitely like to caution others that are more particular with how their grill will arrive. Thankfully the dent appears to be simply cosmetic. I'd like to know what the seller does in these situations, is there a replacement part that can be sent? I'm happy to install myself, but would certainly like to have a new grill that doesn't look like it was purchased from a scratch-and-dent warehouse.
Amazon Customer : DO NOT BUY!
This is my second Trager grill from Amazon. First one worked for two weeks and then would not work anymore. This one I put together, would not fire up from the get-go. They seem to have very poor quality control. Also Amazon customer service is hard to deal with on returns. This item comes in a box that as soon as you open it cannot be used to resend it back because of the way it’s packaged. So they want me to ship back but I I don’t have a box large enough to use the ship back to them. Trying to figure that out it’s been a headache so be aware of these issues if you were to purchase this item.
Kindle Customer : This grill is wonderful and I hope you enjoy it to the max!
There is nothing to dislike. I have cooked steak, chicken and even smoked a turkey for Thanksgiving Day. If my ham had not already been smoked, it would have ended on the grill also! I love, love, love this grill!

George E. : Love our Trager smoker
This is one of my best purchases ever. We have smoked several types of meats since we got it. It is easy to use and maintains the temperature correctly . Would recommend this.
Amazon Customer : DO NOT BUY!

Chad A : Im officially a Traeger fanboy!
Nothing but good things to say here. Quality parts and construction. Assembly is easy with clear and concise instructions. Last but not least, the thing is a pleasure to use and produces killer smoked meats.
SWiel : Top of the line in grilling, ALL climate cooking grill.
I love this grill, the cooking surface is easy to clean and use. Easy to start up and set very accurate digital temperature readings. Comes with two remote digital temperature probes that also very accurate. Easy to start and develops deep smoke rings in beef and pork shoulders. I have not used for ribs yet, however sure it will do well. No constant having to keep an eye on temperature by adjusting air or hazardous propane or wood. This grill is easy to clean up after use and easy to shut down. By turning the temperature control switch to shutdown mode and it allows the pellet feeder to stop and burns all the remaining pellets in the burning pot to an ash and shuts off. After 10 minutes move the off switch to off and unplug for safety. I will take this grill with me while traveling.
Paloma : My son loves this
Had some major problems with delivery damage however now that my son is using this...amazing quality... food is always grilled to perfection!
M. Alan : Works fantastic!
Well packaged, assembled quickly. I plugged it in, went through the start up procedure, smoked/grilled a few different cuts of meat, let it go through its cool down process when I was finished and everything worked fantastic. The temp probes are accurate, it’s easy to clean and the food tastes fantastic. Best grilling/smoking investment I’ve ever made!
Jaclyn Kikkert : Didn’t get to use
Didn’t get to use it. Showed up dented even though the packaging was in perfect condition
corice : good
love it, but temperature is under and over by up to 50° every time. Easy to use and food is delicious.
Shawn March : Buy this grill
Takes a little longer to cook, but it’s worth it!! I was sold the instant I tasted a cowboy ribeye from it. Owned a month now and it works perfectly and the taste is amazing
bg : IF you need a grill - THIS IS IT!!!!
Traeger Grill was a replacement for a Weber 3 burner propane grill with a cast iron grilling surface. I did the usual steak, chicken, hamburg, etc. Then the grilling surface started flaking apart, and the "stainless steel" burners were getting corroded and needed replacement, BUT the "stainless steel" mounting screws could not be removed. Besides, the Weber had hot spots & not so hot spots when cooking. Not to mention the grease FLAME UPS during cooking.
The TRAEGER has s small fire box in the bottom middle where the pellets are burned, pellets are fed via an auger (added as needed to maintain desired internal grill temperature). Above fire box is a heavy duty steel sheet for heat distribution, above that is another sheet of steel (on a slight angle) to direct runoff grease into a collection bucket (NO FLAME UPS!!!!). ALSO the cooking surface is a porcelain grill (can you say EASY CLEANUP???)
I have had my Traeger just over a month. I stated with the usual, chicken, steak & hamburgers. A week ago decided to go out on a limb with a saw, we were hosting a birthday party with about 10 guests AND decided to do my first ever SMOKED BRISKET. Well after a nice long slow smoke & cooking (9 hours), the 12# brisket slices could be cut with a fork. After we all ate, guests cut off leftovers to take home, we were left with about a pound.
Yes, the Traeger is expensive, but so is replacing other grills about every 8>10 years. I was looking to buy another propane grill, but after looking at the Traeger and talking to another Traeger owner - I went Traeger. Should have done it YEARS ago!!!! I would give it 10 STARS if I could!!!!!!!!
You can't go wrong getting one for yourself.

Steven D. Bjorkman : Best 'Q you'll ever have!
Everything from the easy assembly (one person can assemble, despite what Traeger says) to the ease of use, this BBQ/Smoker is awesome! I also like that this model has 2 probes. Cleanup is also very easy. My wife was very skeptical, but after tasting my first meal (a tri tip), she is lining up the meals for me to make - even though she loves to cook herself. Happy wife, happy life! Thanks Traeger!
Kojak : Brand new, dented from delivery, and auger doesn’t work. Disappointed.
Well, so far it’s a 1-star review because I just fired it up and find that the auger isn’t feeding the pellets to burn and heat up the grill. Brand new Traeger, so excited for the first smoke and...disappointment.
Also, it was slightly banged up during delivery with internal scratches most likely due to the screws and bolts that came out of their packaging during delivery and were spread out inside the grill and spread out in the box. There was also a noticeable dent which interferes with the lid closing completely.
So far, not the best experience with Traeger or the Amazon delivery...
Avery Magee : Believe the hype people!
This thing is insane! Everything we’ve made has turned out perfect! Highly addictive!!
Angela Maes : When you spend this much money on an item , you expect quality.
My smoker arrived with dents. I have a call into customer service but no return call yet. Not a good start for an expensive purchase....

Bob : It's a Traeger, what's to say
This was a replacement for an older Traeger Jr. which has now been relegated to the campsite. Where have I been. This is still a small smoker but perfect for two or even up to a family of four the key is that it has all the spiffy stuff, the burner has been moved to the center "woohoo" the new latest control is awesome. More accurate, built in temp probes and the cooldown helps with reducing ash buildup which means less cleaning. Also hopper size has been increased for the smaller smokers, more burn time per filling and added feature is a trap door on the hopper that makes pellet changing as hard as making sure you have a spare bucket for it to drop into. Thumbs up, Traeger strikes again.

MDF : Great grill, but check your parts
We bought as a Christmas present to ourselves for 2020. Followed all assembly instructions and pre-heat/first use guidelines. It would not come up to temperature (stayed around 160 degrees). We called Traeger directly—the induction fan was not working at all on our brand new Traeger. Thankfully they were super helpful and sent us a replacement free of charge. They told us it would arrive in 2 weeks, but we received it in a few days. We replaced the fan, and now the grill is working great.
In addition to this issue, there were also two dings on the hopper lid from shipping. We noticed this prior to the fan issue and did not want to send it back for something cosmetic. However, I would recommend checking out your entire grill and making sure everything works correctly before pitching the shipping box. We are happy with the grill, but for the price and the fact that it was brand new, did not expect to run into such an issue on its first power up.
buyer10387 : Love it!
My husband had a pit boss smoker that the temperature control went out on less than a year after purchase. So when he wanted a new smoker, we were skeptical as to what to purchase. After learning more about Traeger, we went for it (besides, we had already paid that much for a smoker that could not be used). The traeger has not disappointed us!
Bill : I Love My Traeger
I used electric smokers before getting my Traeger. This is easy to assemble but you will want a helping hand with several steps. My baby back ribs are the best we've ever had, anywhere. There is plenty of online help and recipes. The pro 20 series has room for bb chicken and a turkey.

SWiel : Top of the line in grilling, ALL climate cooking grill.
I love this grill, the cooking surface is easy to clean and use. Easy to start up and set very accurate digital temperature readings. Comes with two remote digital temperature probes that also very accurate. Easy to start and develops deep smoke rings in beef and pork shoulders. I have not used for ribs yet, however sure it will do well. No constant having to keep an eye on temperature by adjusting air or hazardous propane or wood. This grill is easy to clean up after use and easy to shut down. By turning the temperature control switch to shutdown mode and it allows the pellet feeder to stop and burns all the remaining pellets in the burning pot to an ash and shuts off. After 10 minutes move the off switch to off and unplug for safety. I will take this grill with me while traveling.
Dan : Amazing!,,
Very well packaged, easy to assemble, sturdy and very well built!
Yesterday I made pulled pork that my family loved. I have always struggled with making beef brisket in my old electric smoker so I smoked a small, 2lb brisket in this Traeger unit today. It came out amazing with just salt, pepper and olive oil. Nice bark, juicy and tender and it was effortless. Next time I’ll smoke a 5lb brisket because this one will be gone tonight with no leftovers.
Temperature control work well and it provides the perfect amount of smoke. I am so happy with this purchase!
Tomorrow…ribs
Dan
steve : Disappointed
Pellets need constant attention or fire goes out. You have to constantly ensure the pellets are feeding through the grate. They get hung up causing pockets and the smoke stops and temp is shut off. I’ve ruined a few meals before figuring out what was happening. I blamed the pellet moisture, my own actions and even called Traeger who thought I had ash build up, which I did not. I actually returned the last one and now it’s too late for me to return this one. I might as well have bought a stick smoker for the amount of attention this one needs. I think I will try to sell it.
Kevin Mojek : Great smoker / good grill
I was a little hesitant on this purchase, as my immediate family hasn't usually been big fans of ribs and pulled pork. A few weeks in though, ribs, chicken wings and chicken drumsticks have all been well received. I'm a new fan of smoked meats!
My one gripe would be with just quickly grilling burgers and steaks. At higher temperatures, it burns through wood pellets pretty fast and takes some time to warm up. At "High" temperature setting, it maxes out around 415 degrees for me. It's very indirect heating, so that makes sense. I decided to keep my propane grlll for steaks and burgers, but the Traeger is great for smoking, so we have been using it a couple of times per week.
George Su : It finally arrived (late)
Well, it took forever to arrive, but that's the shipping company's fault (including the dents).
Overall it was easy to assemble, easy to operate, easy to clean. Temperature wise, it doesn't look like it can reach past 416 degrees, according to the sensor. I'll need to get a temperature gauge to confirm. I'm satisfied with my purchase.
russell : I've used it now about 15 times has a few issues.
Works good most of the time . I've had a few times that temp went real low so I had to do a shut down and let it cool off and do a start up again .
Tim : Love it
Only used it twice cause it is winter but I love the ease of set it and forget it, wish it had a window, also it is very heavy

Sandra Noble : I am a 71 year old female....
I was able to assemble everything - the only assistance I required was in getting the Traeger upright. The start up was textbook, easily done and it all went quite well. Tomorrow I will cook for the first time.
Amy B : Best smoker/grill on the planet for the price...
We've been looking for an affordable smoker/grill that would maintain the temperature for years. Our brother in law actually has a smaller version of this and cooked for us one weekend and we were sold. It is worth every penny. We can grill a 22 pound turkey on this Traeger. It's awesome. Just ordered a thermal blanket (sorry Amazon- you were out, found it at Cabelas) for the super cold winters up here in Buffalo to see how it holds the temps!
Theresa Allsopp : The cook time and taste.
This item was amazing. It was easy to put together. And I did it all by myself. I followed the easy instructions and it started up. My first item I cooked was a rack of ribs. And they were amazing. I couldn’t believe the taste. I am now a grill master ????????????????????????
Justin Ross : Worth every penny!
Excellent product!
I’ve only had for 2 weeks, but have cooked on it every single day. The Temperature is pretty accurate. Floats between -+ 10 degrees. But that’s not bad at all for a pellet smoker. And also depends on the quality of pellets you use.
I just smoked a brisket for 10hours, and the grill did a fantastic job.
Only con is this thing is heavy, but that’s because of quality.
Highly recommend to anyone that enjoys cooking meat.
Sean Childress : Backyard BBQ Game Changer
This grill is awesome and makes you look like a BBQ Deity. The probes ensure you don't overcook you meat. Pellets are reasonably priced. A a local Big Box store they are even more reasonable. Grill was dented in shipping and I was able to correct the issue so it's not noticeable.
DaveB : Bent up on arrival
Received new grill with significant damage
Called Traeger. They did offer to replace the entire body but then I have to take it all apart, change the hopper and body, and then dispose of the old body at the dump which costs $30 around here
I dont recommend buying this online. Buy in a store. Lots of comments about these grills being damaged. I figured "ehh probably pretty rare and thats all you will hear about because people really only post negative reviews"
Nope. Bent all up. Will probably work but its ugly and new. Looks like it rolled down a mountain.

bg : IF you need a grill - THIS IS IT!!!!
Traeger Grill was a replacement for a Weber 3 burner propane grill with a cast iron grilling surface. I did the usual steak, chicken, hamburg, etc. Then the grilling surface started flaking apart, and the "stainless steel" burners were getting corroded and needed replacement, BUT the "stainless steel" mounting screws could not be removed. Besides, the Weber had hot spots & not so hot spots when cooking. Not to mention the grease FLAME UPS during cooking.
The TRAEGER has s small fire box in the bottom middle where the pellets are burned, pellets are fed via an auger (added as needed to maintain desired internal grill temperature). Above fire box is a heavy duty steel sheet for heat distribution, above that is another sheet of steel (on a slight angle) to direct runoff grease into a collection bucket (NO FLAME UPS!!!!). ALSO the cooking surface is a porcelain grill (can you say EASY CLEANUP???)
I have had my Traeger just over a month. I stated with the usual, chicken, steak & hamburgers. A week ago decided to go out on a limb with a saw, we were hosting a birthday party with about 10 guests AND decided to do my first ever SMOKED BRISKET. Well after a nice long slow smoke & cooking (9 hours), the 12# brisket slices could be cut with a fork. After we all ate, guests cut off leftovers to take home, we were left with about a pound.
Yes, the Traeger is expensive, but so is replacing other grills about every 8>10 years. I was looking to buy another propane grill, but after looking at the Traeger and talking to another Traeger owner - I went Traeger. Should have done it YEARS ago!!!! I would give it 10 STARS if I could!!!!!!!!
You can't go wrong getting one for yourself.
you can compare the product price from Costco, wayfair, bestbuy, lowes, target, homedepot, Walmart, ebay, amazon to find the best price for you
