Customer Reviews for Traeger Grills - Ranger Wood Pellet Grill - Black

Verified Purchase:Yes
This grill, as most, has a learning curve. I have had it for 3 weeks and have managed to understand temperature in it. As yet, I am trying to understand cooking times as I seem to have most things I cook are ready to remove and rest earlier than expected. I have been extremely satisfied and simply fault myself for the less than perfect results I have had. Of 6 entrees I have tried, only one was entirely unsuccessful.

I really wish this grill had WiFire. I bought it because it's the only size that will fit under the cover in my truck bed but really wish it had wifire.

Hi, and thanks for providing your feedback on the Traeger Ranger. As convenient as the WiFIRE feature is on those grills that come with it, the Ranger is designed to be a basic, portable smoker for tailgating, car camping, or anyone who just doesn’t have the space for a full sized grill. And while the ranger will still provide the same great results as our larger models, the bells and whistles that come with it need to be limited due to its reduced size. However, we always appreciate getting feedback and do pay attention to what our customers have to say.

Tried to burn up during break-in and doesn’t hold temps. I love my Traeger at home, some one should be fired for how bad this one is. Be better off just rubbing 2 sticks together. What a waste. Back to LP for camping.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Bryce, thanks for sharing your thoughts. Portable grills like the Ranger take a bit longer to settle on the set temperature and can fluctuate around 25°F above or below your target during a cook. Because of the smaller size, placing food too close to the RTD can make the temperature read lower than it actually is. Starting the grill on SMOKE or the lowest temperature and letting it peak before closing the lid helps it stabilize more quickly. Once it settles, you can increase to your desired cooking temperature and allow it to preheat fully. Following proper startup and placement steps will help your Ranger run more consistently and deliver the results you expect. If you would like further guidance or want us to review the behavior of your grill, please give us a call at 1-800-TRAEGER.
