~ Grilling 101 ~
July 4, 1985 dawned clear and hot. The temperature that day, a seasonal 80 degrees. Joe Traeger was preparing the family's Fourth of July get together of barbecued chicken, cooked on Joe's new gas grill.
But the eager anticipation of Joe's clan turned to utter despair when the chicken on the grill caught fire and burnt to a crisp. In frustration, Joe kicked the grill off the deck. It rolled down the hill, where it lays and rusts today.
Applying Traeger's wood pellet technology, Joe fashioned the first wood pellet barbecue - the grill that would revolutionize the barbecue industry.
Now, more than 20 years later, the Traeger Wood Pellet Grill is being used around the world by outdoor cooks who've "Tasted The Difference" and switched to our unique handcrafted grills. The Traeger grill has freed families from gas flare-ups, messy charcoal and ruined meals.
