HOW THE TRAEGER WORKS All natural wood pellets are poured into the hopper. When you push the "On" switch, the hot rod activates for about 4 minutes, igniting the pellets in the firepot. The auger automatically feeds pellets from the hopper to the firepot where convection air is added, acting like a miniature forge. Heat and wood smoke surround the food, resulting in fantastic taste. Drippings are channeled out of the cooking chamber into an external bucket for easy disposal. Flipping the three-position switch to "High" allows you to grill. On "Medium" you can slow cook. The "Smoke" setting allows you to hot-smoke food. In the "Smoke Mode", the grill delivers an even smoke to your food without having to tend the fire. Traeger gives you the convenience of gas, with the flavor of real wood!
