All Traeger Grills, apart from the portable Traeger Ranger, feature Wifire® control with its smart device connectivity to the Traeger App. This truly sets Traeger Grills apart from the competition and is just one of the reasons that Traeger have become the number-one outdoor grill brand in the US. Once connected to your wifi the Wifire Control and Traeger App combination will allow you to fully automate your cooking. Quite simply, you'll wonder how you ever grilled and barbecued without it.
Pairing your grill to the App couldn't be easier with Traeger's simple step-by-step instructions and there are also plenty of YouTube videos on hand for back-up – but honestly, you shouldn't really need to refer to these. Once connected, set your programme (or select one of 1500 recipes). Simply tap the Cook Now button and the grill will fire up and when it's sufficiently preheated the App will immediately let you know. That way you won't waste any fuel. Then load your food and more or less only come back when it has all been cooked to perfection. No more running back and forwards to the grill to take a peek. If you must, then you can occasionally check the App on your phone or even your Apple Watch.
The Traeger Grill's Wifire Control precisely monitors and manages the pellet consumption, adding more pellets when needed to continuously maintain the temperature you've set, either directly from the integral digital control panel on the front of the grill or remotely from the Traeger App. The grill will stream the temperature inside it to the App as well as keep continuous track of the internal temperature of the food via the grill's integral meat probe. With the Traeger App you'll be able to control and adjust the temperature of your cooking precisely anytime from anywhere you like so that you can get on with the rest of your day or simply devote more time to guests. You can also quickly switch to the 75ºC 'Keep Warm' mode when the food is cooked if you're not quite ready to serve it. For obvious safety reasons the only thing you won't be able to do is fire up the grill remotely.
The Traeger App will open up a whole world of new flavoursome food for everyone who owns a Traeger grill. There are some 1500 grill-related easy to follow recipes on the App, many by famous chefs and grillmasters, including plenty of barbecue favourites and dozens of delicious desserts all showing the supreme versatility of the Wifire controlled Traeger grill. These are even rated on a difficulty scale of 1 to 5 to add to the ease of use. You'll be able to filter recipes according to the main ingredient (eg beef, pork, poultry, seafood etc) and the desired cooking method (eg barbecue, roast, bake or smoke etc). You can also choose recipes by wood pellet flavour and set the number of servings and cook time.
The Traeger App is full of curated content, step-by-step snapshots and concise videos that demonstrate how to make the recipes as well as the tips, tricks and cooking techniques that will help you become a better cook. Your grill simply adheres to the App's programmed instructions. You can also follow your favourite chefs so that you never miss a newly-added recipe. Hide what you don’t want to see and save the recipes that you want to come back to later. The Traeger App definitely offers you a totally new cooking experience that puts you in touch with a whole new world of flavour. Above al else, it's just incredibly intuitive and user friendly and gets better and better all the time.
Now in its fourth decade Traeger Grills are the world's best selling wood fired grills and smokers – that's because they're exceptionally fast, extremely versatile and very user friendly. They're also highly consistent, because there are simply no variables, just great food every time. With a Traeger grill you get all the convenience of a gas barbecue, but here's the big difference, you also get that genuine wood-fired barbecue taste. From the handy pack-up-and-go portable Traeger Ranger to the seriously brilliant and ultra speedy, remote controlled, Timberline D2 1300 that's big enough to cope with the biggest family get-together, there's a Traeger Grill that's perfect for you. Hot and fast or low and slow – grill, smoke, bake, roast, braise and barbecue with Traeger's authentic pecan, hickory, maple, apple or cherry wood flavours to suit every type of food. As Pete, The Stove Yard's resident barbecue expert, says "unlike other barbecues, with Traeger Grills there's no learning curve, just set the desired temperature and away you go – you're an expert from day-one".
