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!
