Every grill master and smoke master knows that the secret to perfectly cooked meat and vegetables is to keep a precise and constant temperature. If you have a smoker grill that can offer this, you can immediately eliminate a huge variable of what could go wrong on any barbecue occasion.
This is exactly what Traeger grills bring coupled with the key fact that, unlike gas or propane grills, it is fueled by 100% all-natural, food-grade wood pellets that enhance your food with an unparalleled tasty smoky flavor.
Payless Hardware is San Jose, California's only platinum Traeger retailer, so read below to browse and learn more about the different series of Traeger grills and find the right grill for you!
The Inspiration Behind Traeger
On another 4th of July weekend, Founder Joe Traeger ran into trouble cooking chicken using his gas grill. Unsurprisingly, he ended with overcooked chicken again and thought there had to be a better way. His problem-solving skills led him to create the first wood pellet grill. With a unique career background in home heating, he understood how to design and build a reliable, high-quality wood pellet-powered grill that has since become a favorite worldwide.
Since 1985, Traeger has been developing premium wood pellet grills to create an exceptional grilling experience while embodying the convenience of operating a kitchen oven. In fact, until 2006, Traeger was the sole manufacturer of wood pellet grills, making them the trusted experts in crafting the pinnacle wood-fired smoke flavor and a flawless pellet grill experience.
With the ease of their automatic igniter, wireless control, and natural hardwood pellets, Traeger melds simplicity, versatility, and ease of comfort for grillers who are just starting out and professional grill masters alike.
Grilling Innovation at Every Level
The end goal of purchasing any grill is to own a performance product that you can trust. Traeger grills will consistently produce the phenomenal wood smoke-flavored food that you intend to create.
Brand New Line in Top-Tier Timberline Grill Series
After 30 years of craftsmanship, Traeger has done it again. With premium construction, their brand new Traeger Timberline and Timberline XL grills debuted this year with all the useful features included in the Ironwood Series, but with the new addition of an induction cooktop beside their stainless steel, double-wall insulated multi-level grill. Our store carries the previous Timberline 850 and Timberline 1300 grill models as well.
Mid-Level: Ironwood Grill Series
Any option from Traeger’s Ironwood series is a terrific choice for any backyard barbecue. They boast smokier flavors with their added Super Smoke® (also included in the Timberline Series) by allowing the smoke to smolder longer, pass across more often, and then finally exit through their improved downdraft exhaust vent. With a maximum temperature of 500 degrees Fahrenheit, the Ironwood 650 can grill eight chickens and five rib stacks or six pork butts, all the while the Ironwood 885 can handle ten chickens, seven rib stacks, or nine pork butts.
Base Level: Pro Grill Series
The Pro series is the standard base model of Traeger grills which include both the Pro 575 and Pro 780. The Pro grills are easy to differentiate with their updraft smokestack chimney pipe as well as a side handle for easy lifting during transport. With a maximum temperature of 450 degrees Fahrenheit, the Pro 575 has the ability and capacity to cook 24 burgers, five rib racks, or four whole chickens, while the Pro 780 can grill even more with up to 34 burgers, six racks of ribs, or six chickens. Our store also have the older Pro 22-Bronze and Pro 34-Bronze grills in stock as well.
Portable Traeger Grill Series
The portable line of Traeger grills offers excellent options for camping outdoors, tailgating at an event, or even grilling on a small balcony with friends. They come equipped with a meat probe to monitor your meat without letting the smoke escape and a “Keep Warm Mode” that ensures your food doesn’t grow cold before serving. In addition, Traeger’s Tailgater flaunts a foldable stand with wheels for easy transport and can hold about three rib stacks, twelve burgers, or two chickens. While Traeger’s Ranger grill is small enough to fit inside the trunk of a car, it still has the capacity for one whole rib stack, six burgers, or ten hot dogs.
