Know before you buy
The integrated induction cooktop allows you to sear, sauté, or simmer sauces right next to your grill grates. It provides precise temperature control that a wood fire simply cannot match, effectively turning your grill into a full outdoor kitchen.
The grill uses Traeger’s Smart Combustion technology, which monitors and adjusts airflow and pellet feed rates in real-time. This ensures the internal temperature remains stable even in fluctuating weather conditions.
Yes, it features the EZ-Clean Grease & Ash Keg system, which collects both grease and ash in one accessible location. You simply pull the keg out and empty it, significantly reducing the time spent on routine maintenance.
Yes, through the Traeger app and WiFIRE technology, you can monitor internal meat temperatures, adjust the grill heat, and set timers from your smartphone. It also sends alerts when your food reaches the target temperature.
The grill is designed to run on a standard 120V household outlet. However, because of the high power draw required to run both the induction cooktop and the grill’s internal components simultaneously, ensure you are using a dedicated circuit to avoid tripping a breaker.
The Timberline provides a generous 860 square inches of total cooking area spread across three adjustable stainless steel grate tiers. This is sufficient space to cook for a large party, easily accommodating multiple briskets, racks of ribs, or a dozen whole chickens.
