Knowing
how to operate a Traeger grill is important as some of it's
design
characteristics mean that its operation varies somewhat from a
conventional BBQ grill or smoker.
To start with you should
always start your Traeger grill on a high setting, to feed enough
pellets into the firepot and ensure that the fire starts properly.
You may now lower
the heat as neccessary and start cooking on your Traeger grill.
Here are further Traeger operation tips.
Traeger Operation Tips
1) A Traeger Pellet Grill
should never be re-located when the grill is
warm. If you are transporting your grill in after using it,
ensure the flame is out and the grill is fully cooled before
placing it in anywhere.
Avoid adding water to the firepot as this will
seize the auger and make it inoperable.
2) The Traeger Pellet Grill is designed to grill with the lid shut.
Cooking with the lid open, or frequently opening the lid, will greatly
increase the cooking duration.

3) Do not add pellets by hand to a hot firepot as this could lead to a
serious injury. Never continue cooking if the flame goes out. Start
over by allowing your Traeger grill to cool completely first.
4) The smoke setting can be used to stablize the temperature of foods
at approximately 180-210 degrees to keep it warm prior to serving.
5) When estimating the duration of cooking, you should take into
account the variance by guaging the external temperature first. If it
is hot outside, your food will cook more quickly and if it is cool,
your food will take additional time.
