PROPANE
They use this stuff to fuel blow torches or to run a fork lift. Do you want that
next to your food? People say it’s easy to use. Really? Only if you like lugging
around a highly dangerous and flammable tank in your car, not to mention store it
just steps away from your family. Is that your idea of easy?
CHARCOAL
How about that dirty black mess of a choice, charcoal? Wikipedia describes charcoal
with words like “black residue … animal, and vegetation compound.” Canada law requires
charcoal briquettes to be labeled under the Hazardous Products Act. We don’t know
what that means, but it scares us and it’s not something we will let seep into our
food. Consumer Reports says, cooking directly over a high temperature flame is responsible
for turning healthy foods into carcinogens. We looked it up, it’s not good.
TRAEGER WOOD PELLET GRILLS
Before Traeger Wood Pellet Grills, you just couldn’t cook with wood unless you wanted
to dig up your backyard, a National Forest, build a pit, cut down the trees, chop
the wood, and make the fire ... that sounds like a lot of work. At Traeger, we make
it simple. We have eight flavors of wood pellets that provide great taste to every
dish.
The amazing taste the pellets provide is just one of the many benefits, there are
no artificial binders and they are EPA recommended. You can't say that
about the other grilling options. Additionally, Traeger cares about our environment.
All Traeger Wood Pellet Grills provide a zero carbon footprint and are made from
100% natural material. That means nothing harmful is cooking your food. That’s something
we think is important.
As far as cost, wood pellets win there as well. Propane costs twice as much per
BTU as natural wood pellets, and as far as charcoal is concerned, are there really
any benefits? Why would you cook with anything else?
Stop grilling, start TRAEGER'ing!
