I love my new traeger

I like the new controls on the tailgater better than the knob on my bronson model. I can better fine tune the temp and it holds a more consistent temp. Zero complaints.

Throws codes = fails on smoke and lower temps

Cooks fine on high,but when smoking or trying a notch or two up it shuts down with different codes. Happens frequently. Cleaned it out, tested it on high and worked. Guests arrive for a meal and it went out "codes" on hour two of the smoke. Tried a second time the next day just putting in half the pets in the hopper, still threw an error code after keeping an eye on it all day. Restarted it and concern with large temp variances as well, ready to throw this out along with the pellets.

Nothing low and slow for me!!

I can't cook anything low and slow. The minimum temperature the grill will maintain is 250-280 degrees regardless of what temperature I set below that. Set 180 grill maintains a temp of 250-280, set 225 maintains a temp of 250-280. Higher temps above 280 it maintains temperature fine. But I can not anything cook low and slow! So no brisket no pork butt no ribs. Severally limits what I can cook on this grill.....very disappointing I can only cook half the meats I want to!!

Traeger is the best! This is why ^_^

Traeger is my first exciting personal cover purchase experience. I had been using a friend's traeger for the past year and now I've got one of my own! It is the easiest, tastiest, and most passive cooking experience I've ever had. Traeger makes a quality grill that looks great and makes you a spectacle at a gathering. I love my Traeger tailgater! Its portable too!... you know...its the tailgater! Cooks more than plenty for a gathering :)

Temperature isn’t accurate.

Grill won’t stay at programmed temp. 225 is 240-250, 250 is 265+. Very frustrating.

tailgater

This is perfect for tailgating. we have used it and works well. I only wish you didnt have to use a generator to power the unit. I was able to use my inverter provided with my pickup to do so.

Not really impressed. Hard to travel with.

Bought this about a year ago as my wife and I are full time campers. The folding feet is a very bad design. The large will has broken several screws during transport. I thought it would be easier and less stressful. I was wrong. Other than that it works good.

Tailgater

I have had this for a few years. It tends to run a little hot at times, but not enough to warrant a call to Traeger. This is a great little smoker/grill. It smokes well and grills great. It is easy to clean and it works. The onliest thing I wish it had is a super smoke setting.

Please don’t!

Biggest regret of my grilling life is cheating out and buying this unit. The temperature control is horrible!! I’ve even replaced the probe a few times and no difference. Constant 100 degree swings and won’t ever hold a temp for longer than 10 mins. I love Traeger but please fellas, buy the good model.
