[NFB-InTheKitchen] Traeger Grills

[Tiffany Green]

Hi everyone, I’ve been on this group for a while but very rarely post. This grill sounds interesting. Can someone tell me about how it works? What kind of pellets do you use?  Do the pellets add some type of flavor? And is it an indoor or outdoor grill? I’ve never grill before and have thought about trying to use it on outdoor grill but it’s very scary. So any information you can give me would be appreciative. Thank you so much. Tiffany.

The grill can be controlled by a couple buttons, and a dial on the front of the grill. There is also an on/off switch on the back of the grill which must be plugged in. This is because of the wifi, and the electric heat that makes the grill go, plus the auger that loads the pellets. You must also connect it to a 2.4 GHz wifi network, not 5.0 G. I had to do some messing around with my wifi (Comcast) but it does work correctly now.
