Set up our new Traeger Timberline XL yesterday, went to use it today and it caught fire!!! Thankfully, we were home before it burnt our house down. I will never trust this piece of junk ever!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi, and thank you for reviewing the Timberline XL. Fires for new grills, regardless of the model, rarely happen and are generally not related to the grill's functionality. Typically, these only occur after the grill has been used a while, and grease has been allowed to buildup, which may eventually ignite. However, for brand new touchscreen models, it is usually due to either using a liner/foil on the drip tray, or in this case, a firepot not being fully installed into its position. If you ever have any questions when setting up and using your Traeger, please reach out to us at 1-800-TRAEGER, any day of the year and one of our agents will be happy to help.
Exceeded all expectations. This thing is awesome. Great smoke ring on everything I have thrown at it. For the Price, I think it should have come with a Front shelf but other than that it's the ultimate setup for any meat smoking enthusiast.
Love our Traeger! This thing is a beast it will handle any size meat we have and be able to accommodate a whole softball team for food! And we love our Timberline Hat!!
