Can You Grill On A Traeger? [1-Minute Read]

Thinking about buying a Traeger? Want to know what they’re capable of? Wondering if you can grill on a Traeger?

Here’s what I can tell you from experience:

You can indeed grill on a Traeger. However, your food isn’t directly exposed to the heat source, unlike traditional charcoal or gas grills. Instead, it’s shielded from the burning fuel by a heat baffle (or heat deflector) and a drip tray. As a result, Traegers grill more effectively when the lid is closed. This allows the heat to radiate inside the cooking chamber, similar to how ovens cook.

I’m Glen, an ordinary guy with an extraordinary passion for grilling. I was recently gifted a Traeger wood pellet grill for my birthday. I knew little about setting up, operating, cooking with, or maintaining a Traeger grill. I started this website to document my findings as I learn to "master the flames".
