Traeger manufactures a pellet-fueled grill that eliminates the need for charcoal or gas. It’s versatile enough to cook the most delicate meat, and can be used to smoke, barbecue, grill, braise, bake, or roast.

Traeger Grills: Why All the Hype?

While most grills use charcoal or gas to cook meats, a Traeger grill is different.  Traegers use mesquite, apple, cherry, hickory, maple, and other hardwoods to flavor pork chops, ribs, salmon steaks, or turkey.  Unlike charcoal or gas, each different type of wood pellet imparts its own unique flavor to the meat.

Charcoal and gas grills cannot compete with the flavor added by the variety of wood pellets used in a Traeger grill. The versatility of the fuel allows the chef to mix pellet types to create unique flavor profiles. For instance, maple pellets and cherry pellets could be combined and used for grilling pork chops. It’s this potential for creativity and versatility that sets the Traeger grill apart from other types of grills.

Traeger Grills Enhance Any Cut of Meat

The better the cut of meat, the better the flavor. That’s true for any grill, but with a Traeger, you can fudge a little bit. The use of a Traeger grill allows you to purchase less expensive cuts of meat because of the great flavor that comes from the fuel.  The unique flavor possibilities offered by natural cooking fuel allows the back yard chef to take his cooking skills to the next level. A gas or charcoal grill can’t come close to achieving the complex flavor profile offered by wood pellets. 

Outstanding Quality

Traeger grills use electricity for start-up and operation. The construction of the grill keeps temperatures constant all around the meat, meaning that you don’t need a rotisserie and may not even need to turn the meat. Use the Traeger as a smoker, convection oven, or grill to cook any type of meat.

Unlike other grill makers, Traeger manufactures their own wood pellets.  The pellets are made of  100% quality virgin wood.  Recycled wood used in other types of pellets may contain formaldehyde, a chemical used to preserve building materials.  This chemical and others used in manufacturing can become infused into your meat during the cooking process. You will never find chemicals in the wood pellets sold specifically for a Traeger Grill.

Some grilling pellet manufacturers pay no attention to the safety or quantity of additives in their products. In addition, government regulations are often influenced by the pellet manufacturing giants.  That’s not the case with Traeger pellets. Strong consideration is given to customer safety in choosing high quality wood for the pellets used in Traeger grills.  All suppliers are held to strict quality control standards, giving you peace of mind that your cooking fuel is both safe and effective.
