All natural wood pellets are poured into the hopper. When you push the "On" switch, the hot rod activates for about 4 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 mini 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 a gas grill, with the flavor of real wood!
How does the smoker control work?
The smoker control is a solid-state timer. On HIGH, the auger runs all the time, delivering the maximum amount of fuel to the firepot. This creates a temperature between 400-425 degrees F. On MEDIUM, the auger runs for 2 minutes and then stops for 2 minutes. A temperature of approximately 300 degrees F. is produced when cooking on MEDIUM. On SMOKE, the auger runs for one minute and is off for 3 minutes. The auger comes back on for 1 minute. The pellets have burned down so far that there isn’t enough heat to generate a flame, but there is just enough heat to produce SMOKE. If you watch the grill in the smoke mode, every 3 minutes you’ll see the smoke being produced. For even more versatility, upgrade to the digital thermostat control and have an even wider range of temperature control (standard on the higher end models).
