Brand Spotlight: Traeger
When it comes to premium wood pellet grills, Traeger stands tall as the pioneer—and still a cut above the rest.
A Legacy Etched in Smoke
Inventor of the pellet grill: In the mid-1980s, Joe Traeger, a heating-systems entrepreneur, repurposed compressed wood pellets—originally used for home heating—into outdoor cooking fuel, earning a patent in 1987.
Market exclusivity: From 1987 until the patent expired in 2006, Traeger was the only pellet grill maker, refining control systems and building brand trust .
Growth & evolution: Though ownership has changed since 2014, Traeger remains firmly rooted in its Oregon heritage while leading innovation .
The Traeger Difference
Traeger grills stand out with:
Wood-fired versatility
Cook anything from low-and-slow smoking to high-heat grilling—Traeger’s 6-in-1 system can grill, smoke, bake, roast, braise, and BBQ with ease.
Set-it & Forget-it control
No more babysitting your cook—digital controllers automatically regulate pellets, fan, and auger. Newer models with WiFIRE® let you adjust temps via the app anytime, anywhere.
Premium fuel = premium flavor
Traeger’s wood pellets are 100% natural hardwood, U.S.-made, and available in flavorful blends—from sweet fruitwoods to robust oak and hickory.
Advanced tech & build quality
High-end models (like Timberline and Ironwood) feature WiFIRE, Super Smoke mode, pellet sensors, downdraft exhaust, insulated walls, and rugged components for long-lasting performance.

WiFIRE® app connectivity – control grill remotely via phone or smart home.
