Very cute and versatile

While we have a full size Traeger at our house, we also have a Tailgater at our apartment out on the balcony. Don’t let this cute little guy fool you, it is awesome! It can do anything my full sized grill can, but in many cases, better. We do chicken, rack of lamb, and ribs regularly. Last night we cranked it up to 450 degrees and cooked the best veal chops we have ever had! Love it!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great City Solution

Bought for use on balcony in apartment near the beach in LA. The wind outside picks up all the smoke, even when there’s a burst of smoke just starting up, so not scary to neighbors. Amazing pulled pork within hours of opening box.

So far so good, picked up a small because I am only 1 person, only think it needs is pellet drain to switch pellets like you see on the other bigger units

I like the new controls on the tailgater better than the knob on my bronson model. I can better fine tune the temp and it holds a more consistent temp. Zero complaints.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Cannot recommend the Tailgater 20
on June 9, 2025

Does not maintain set temperature. It has always run about 35 degrees hotter than what was set and now no matter what you set, it jumps to 245 degrees and stays there. I cannot recommend a product that cost this much and fails this miserably.

The legs could be stronger. But a great compact grill for loading into a camper.

Well I have watched my son-in-law cook on his and he has always made great food. Well I was surprised when a big box came to my house. My son-in-law and daughter bought me one. They even sent burgers and fixing with it. Amazing what you can do these days. Anyway I love it. Everything I cook on it turns out great. So easy to get to the temperature you need and it stay there it takes the work out and puts the fun in. Thanks kids. Love y’all and Traeger. It’s going to be a great summer.
