Traeger Tailgater Pellet Grill Blue

Experience the convenience and rich flavor of a wood burning pellet grill in a more compact size with the Traeger Junior Tailgater blue pellet grill. Updated with a metallic blue, logo-stamped lid and hopper lid, the Tailgater keeps everything good about the original Traeger Junior, but adds portability. Perfect for smaller households, tailgating or as a second grill for your vacation home, this grill runs off of a standard 110 volt outlet. This grill is constructed of durable powder coated steel, and boasts 19,500 BTUs of cooking power. The 305 square inches of porcelain coated grilling surface produce excellent sear marks, while being easy to clean. The new Tailgater model adds EZ-Fold legs, letting you quickly place the grill in the bed of your truck, the back of your SUV, or the trunk of your car and be on your way. The versatility of this pellet grill allows you to smoke at temperatures as low as 180 degrees and then crank it up to 450 degrees to sear to perfection. The natural airflow inside of the grill allows for convection cooking, so you can bake a pizza right on your grill and do not have to turn your meat, unless cooking with high temperatures or if you want even grill marks. Traeger grills feature an auto-start system that is simple and safe to use. When you turn on the grill, the auger begins to feed pellets into the firepot while the draft induction fan feeds air into it. The igniter rod is activated and glows red hot for the first four minutes to ignite the pellets in the firepot. The temperature is controlled by a digital thermostat control which allows you to choose a specific temperature that will be maintained by automatically feeding pellets as needed. The temperature inside your grill is displayed the bright orange LED panel and is monitored by a resistance temperature detector probe. These cost-effective pellets burn at a rate of only 2 lbs per hour on high heat, 1 lb per hour on medium heat and only 1/2 lb per hour when smoking.
