Lower Temp Variability, Good High Temp Stability
on June 6, 2020
Posted by: Anonymous
from New Mexico
I have a Green Mountain big pellet grill and needed a smaller pellet grill for our RV. It seemed the Traeger Ranger fit the bill. After burn in, we tried some meat on low to get a good smoke. Using a MEATER thermometer in the meat, the measured ambient when set to the lowest temp (165) was way higher on the order of 300+ degrees and all over and pretty variable; the meat showed the higher temp as well in that it started to cook. When we set the point up to 400, it held the temp rock solid. Hopefully this was something that the grill will fix in time as it seasons and spec'd in by Traeger. Its probably pretty hard for such a small grill to maintain temp consistently on low heat tbh. Still a wonder you can pack so much into such a small footprint as the Ranger..

Small family delight

Space saver on a patio (because of no legs). Fits perfect on top an outdoor refrigerator or counter top. Price is great value. Cooking surface big enough for three couples. Grate fits flat in sink to soak to clean.

Nice for a while

Nice for the first bit, but not durable given the price. Has been nice for tailgates and 10-lb pork shoulders. The cast iron griddle was good for breakfast and shaved rib. Great flavor with the meat church pellets.
Now to the bad part…When cooking chicken at 450 less than 10 uses in, the paint on the lid bubbled inside and outside. Grill was not hot enough to burn the chicken but somehow hot enough to bubble and peel the paint.

Design flaw… the safety grid in the hopper doesn’t allow pellets to fall into the auger correctly…creating a tunnel then you have to constantly check and push pellets down. Not convenient when cooking a pork butt or something longer than 30-40 minutes.

Ranger: Pellets Won't Drop Down Into Auger
on July 3, 2022

Not recommended. The pellets will not drop into auger. They don't have enough of a slope or don't have enough weight on them. This causes a flame out constantly. Ugh.
