Awesome little smoker

I purchased this right before we went camping in our pull behind trailer. Baked the unit and used it immediately. We used the cast iron griddle to bake a pizza, worked so good. On Saturday we cooked ribs on the grill, and again worked great. The grill did run a bit hotter than we wanted, but over all, this grill is awesome!!

Traeger fan...for good!

I am a Traeger fan. I bought the 527 for home use and the Scout for RV use. Great product. Temperature on the Scout is dicey but it cooks well for me. I just monitor food temps and all good. Ranger struggles with same regulation but still a good portable pellet grill.

Not really portable easily

Was given this grill as a gift. Overall mostly like it. The maintenance is a pain. Has to be cleaned before every use unlike other brands I have used. The grill has caught fire twice. First time I blamed it on my not vacuuming it out the next day, but I have experienced fire making its way into the pellet hopper several times ruining my cooking experience.

This grill needs a redesign

I cannot get this grill to maintain temperature. If it's windy outside, forget using it.

Thank you for your review of the Ranger. Temp issues can be caused by different factors such as pellets, start-up to ventilation and weather. You can learn about temp issues in portable grills on our support page, or call 1(800)TRAEGER and one of our agents will assist you.

Worth it, great portable smoker
on November 2, 2024

I bought this several months ago and it working great. It’s not a full size smoker so don’t expect the same controls but it does a great job for what it is. I take this to Elk camp to all my friends gathering and smoke a variety of things with excellent results. Because it’s so small it does tend to get hotter than the set temp, this is an easy solve if you are monitoring with a MEATER prop. I’ll vent off a little heat and drop the temp on the controls down. Finding that sweet spot for your target temp of 225 is right about 215 depending on outside temperatures. Also make sure to clean your temp sensor. Overall I would say it come close to replacing a full size unit, but it won’t get you the same cooking space. Worth the money in my opinion if you want a portable smoker

I bought Ranger at the Strawberry festival in Florida. Cooked my first brisket 6 lbs seasoned with Traeger beef and coffee and used Hickory. Nice smoke ring tender and moist.
