When it comes to road-testing any of our new outdoor barbecue or grills you don't need to ask our County Down sales team twice – especially when our friend, chef Jasper Castel, is willing to rustle up some ever-so tasty baby back ribs and chicken wings to demonstrate just how easy it is to use a wood pellet fired Traeger grill and smoker. This summer was The Stove Yard's first season with Traeger and this was also the first time that Jasper had ever used a Traeger Grill – in this case the Traeger Ironwood 855, so naturally we had to film it. Traeger's precise temperature setting ensures that cooking on it, even for an absolute beginner, is a total breeze. As you'll see, it's perfection every time and so much easier than your average barbecue. No wonder Traeger have quickly become a best seller here in Newtownards. We've fallen in love with them and as for Jasper's succulent ribs and wings, we just couldn't get enough. Dare we add that a Traeger grill could make the ideal Christmas gift for someone really special, especially with the tremendous savings shown below.
Until December, the Stove Yard are currently offering a 20% saving on the Traeger Ironwood 855 – down from £1699 to just £1359. There's also special Black Friday deals on the Traeger Pro D2 575 (£899 down to (£699) and the Traeger Pro D2 780 (down from £1199 to £999). These offers won't last forever so please check them out here now.
