    • Carrot Souffle

    • Southwestern Stuffed Peppers
      This recipe makes great use of two vegetables you can buy for a song at supermarkets and farmers’ markets in August—luscious red peppers (or green, yellow, or orange) and at-its-peak sweet corn. The stuffing is also excellent in zucchini. Cut each zucchini in half lengthwise, then use a teaspoon to scoop out the flesh, leaving a 1/4-inch shell.

    • Smoked Pumpkin Soup
      We prefer to smoke fresh pumpkins - they taste good, and there's the bonus of seeds, which are addictive when roasted on the Traeger - but for the sake of convenience, you could certainly substitute 2 to 3 cans of pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling). Simply spread the puree out on rimmed baking sheets and smoke for an hour before proceeding with the rest of the recipe. If you're unable to find the hauntingly smoky Spanish paprika known as pimenton, use regular paprika.

    • Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Bacon
      You will never enjoy boiled Brussels sprouts again – not after you’ve had them roasted with wood smoke and bacon and onions. If buying Brussels sprouts from a bin of loose ones, pick smaller ones that seem firm with a minimum of loose or discolored leaves. If you are lucky, you can buy them still on the stalk, ensuring freshness.

    • Roasted Pickled Beets
      Roasting fresh beets on your Traeger brings out their inherent sweetness. When pickled for several days, they are a sublime and colorful addition to your holiday table. Candy cane beets have alternating stripes of white and red, but if you can’t find them, use regular beets. In any case, look for beets that are firm and feel heavy for their size.

    THE TRAEGER TRUTH

    Up until now, you have been given only two choices for grilling: propane and charcoal. Finally, technology has caught up and a healthier, safer and tastier alternative has arrived: Traeger Wood Pellet Grills.



    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!
