Traeger Timberline pellet grill: Everything we know so far

This is a meat-cooking powerhouse, but it comes at a steep price.

Timberline pellet grills have been given a substantial upgrade by Traeger this week in an effort to make them even smarter and simpler to operate.

To better compete with the 2017 versions, the all-new Timberline and Timberline XL were completely overhauled, with a sleeker appearance and more modern amenities. The new grills were put to the test, and the results were delicious. New Timberline models are detailed right here for your convenience.

Features of the Traeger Timberline.

Controls and interface

By replacing its existing smoker control system with a full colour touch screen, Traeger hopes to make it easier for users to get started with the barbecue, keep tabs on temperatures, and conduct maintenance.

The new Traeger grill can be controlled through the Traeger app and has a higher powerful Wi-Fi antenna that makes it simpler to connect and remain connected to the internet.

Thermometers

The Meater Wireless Meat Thermometers that come with the app may also be used with extra wired temperature probes, so you can keep an eye on the temperature of every portion of your meal at the same time. Of course, having one of the finest meat thermometers on available is a must.

The process through which fuel is burned

The ability to cook has also been improved. To avoid flare-ups and maintain a constant temperature throughout the grilling process, Traeger has introduced a smart combustion system that makes use of sensors and what the business terms “cooking environment data.” For the grill’s internal temperature, stainless steel insulation has been added to the complete heat distribution system. As if that wasn’t enough, Traeger has added a FreeFlow firepot and an enhanced Super Smoke Mode to further enhance their grills’ signature smoking powers.

A cooktop that uses an induction heating element.

Traeger’s grills formerly lacked a side burner, which can be used to make sauces and other side dishes, but this function has recently been added to the company’s products. On the other hand, Timberline now has an induction cooktop.

Cleansing the network

Clean up after cooking is essential, and Traeger’s new Grease and Ash Keg System is designed to make it easier by funnelling all the waste into one receptacle for safe and convenient disposal.

Options for personalization

Additional customizability options are available as well. Butcher paper hangers, power towel holders, tool drawers, and utensil hooks may all be attached to the grill’s front and sides using the P.A.L. Pop-and-Lock rail system. A pizza oven, steamer trays, and cast-iron griddles may all be added to the Timberline using ModiFire accessories (due to be released later this year). With a more modular design, the Timberline may become the focus of a complete outdoor kitchen arrangement by simply removing the grill’s feet and relocating the induction burner, for example.

The future of Traeger Timberline

Traeger’s new Timberline pellet grills, which start at $3,500, are more costly than the company’s Ironwood grills by more than twice the amount. However, the induction cooktop is unique to the Timberline and can’t be found on any other stove. This smoker is designed for the serious BBQ enthusiast who wants to go all out with their outdoor kitchen.
