Imagine the intense hunger in our forebearers sitting around the crackling, dancing flames, salivating from the wafting aroma of that sizzling mammoth steak.</p> <p>In 1987, Traeger created the wood-fired grill to capture the essence of wood-fire cooking, sans dancing flames from a bonfire. A more refined way of cooking with wood (pellet form), Traeger’s design allows the wood pellets to infuse their flavour into the food, enhancing taste and aroma.</p> <p><img style="float: right;" src="https://www.trailappliances.com/media/wysiwyg/blog/traeger-blog/How_It_Works.png" alt="" width="264" height="265"></p> <p><strong>How You Ask?<br></strong><span style="color: var(--color-text);">The hardwood pellets travel down to the auger at the bottom, where they are directed to the firepot.

Traeger comes equipped with digitally controlled settings. Simply load it up, set the temperature, fire it up, then leave it be until it alerts you when its job is done.</p> <p><strong>Will It Burn Food If Left Alone?<br></strong>Absolutely not. Traeger manages the temperature for you. There is no need to worry about tending the fire because once you program the setting for your recipe, it knows when your food is cooked. You get consistent results each time. You can multitask without worry!</p> <p><img src="https://www.trailappliances.com/media/wysiwyg/Traeger1-ok.jpg" alt="BBQ" width="341" height="455"/> <img src="https://www.trailappliances.com/media/wysiwyg/Traeger7-ok.jpg" alt="BBQ" width="341" height="455"/></p> <p><strong>What Else Does It Do?<br></strong>This outdoor appliance is versatile.
