ADDING FLAVOR TO YOUR FIRE PELLETS Creating 100% food-grade hardwood pellets comes naturally to Traeger®. Our four US mills process pure hardwood, blended for the perfect balance of smoke to heat, and superior quality you can taste every time. Crafting the highest-quality hardwood pellets on the market starts from the ground up. We built our plants in Oregon, Texas, and Georgia near the hardwood source, and we dedicate our manufacturing to food-grade pellets only, maintaining the purity of our machinery.
20-LB (9-KG) BAGS ALDER MAPLE Versatile because of its mild flavor and aroma, alder gives off ample smoke without overwhelming even the most delicate flavors. Mild, with a hint of sweetness, maple pellets are great for pork and especially veggies. APPLE MESQUITE Most often used with poultry and pork, apple pellets offer a lightly sweet smoke that helps enhance mild-flavored meats. A favorite of Texas BBQ, mesquite pellets infuse your meat with a robust smoke flavor.

The SMOKE setting is for smoking and adding smoke flavor to foods being cooked. The SMOKE setting can also be used to “hold” foods at about 165ºF.
OPERATING TIPS (cont.) 10. C AUTION! Grease fires are caused by not properly maintaining the grill by failing to clean the grease drain pan, V-shaped grease drain, and grease drain tube on a consistent basis. (See MAINTAINING YOUR GRILL for instructions.) In the unlikely event of a grease fire while cooking, turn the switch OFF (O) to reduce the amount of oxygen in the cooking chamber and keep the door closed until the fire is completely out. Never keep the door open during a grease fire.
Remove the porcelain-coated grill grate and the grease drain pan. This will provide access to the V-shaped grease drain and grease drain tube opening inside the grill. Scrape the grease accumulation from inside the V-shaped grease drain and grease drain tube using a stiff, nonmetallic tool. Much of the loosened grease can be pushed down through the grease drain tube and will fall into the grease bucket. Wipe up remaining grease residue with paper towels or disposable rags.
