Frequently Asked Questions - Tailgater TRAEGER
How do I start the Traeger Tailgater?
Ensure the hopper has pellets, plug in the grill, set the controller to 'Smoke' or the desired temperature, and press the ignition button. Wait until the grill reaches temperature before adding food.
What type of pellets should I use?
Use only hardwood pellets specifically designed for grilling. Avoid heating pellets or any treated wood. Traeger brand pellets are recommended for best performance.
How do I clean the Tailgater?
After each use, scrape the grill grates with a brush. Empty and clean the drip tray and grease bucket. Periodically vacuum the interior ash using an ash vacuum to prevent buildup.
What is the temperature range?
The Tailgater operates between 180°F and 450°F. Use low temperatures (180-225°F) for smoking and high temperatures (350-450°F) for grilling.
Can I use the grill in rain?
The Tailgater is designed for outdoor use but should be protected from direct rain. Avoid operating in heavy rain; use a cover if possible to protect the electrical components.
Why is my grill not reaching temperature?
Check pellet level, ensure the auger is not jammed, and verify the fan is running. Also, make sure the grill is not in direct wind which can affect temperature. Perform a controller reset if needed.
How often should I replace the grates?
Replace grates when the porcelain coating chips or rust appears. With proper care, grates can last 2-3 years. Use a grill brush to maintain them.
Is the Tailgater portable?
Yes, the Tailgater features folding legs and a handle for easy transport. It weighs 85 lbs and can be taken to campsites, tailgates, or other outdoor events.
Can I use aluminum foil on the drip tray?
Yes, lining the drip tray with aluminum foil makes cleanup easier. Do not cover the entire tray as it may affect airflow; leave some areas exposed.
What should I do if the auger jammed?
Unplug the grill and remove pellets from the hopper. Use a screwdriver to manually turn the auger to free the jam. If persistent, check for pellet dust clumps or foreign objects.
