Traeger

What the Traeger app does

Traeger is a companion app for Traeger wood-pellet grills, built for people who want more control over a cook than standing beside the grill can provide. With a compatible WiFIRE-enabled grill, it lets you adjust the cooking temperature remotely, check readings from internal meat probes, and use timers while food is cooking.

Useful for long cooks

The app is most useful when smoking or roasting takes several hours. Instead of repeatedly checking the grill, you can monitor its progress from elsewhere and keep an eye on the food’s internal temperature. That makes it a practical fit for home cooks who value repeatable results, as well as experienced barbecue users managing longer cooks.

Recipes and cooking guidance

Traeger also works as a recipe and learning library. It includes wood-fired recipes covering barbecue and other cooking styles, along with step-by-step guidance and video instruction from professional pitmasters. The app can help newer grill owners choose a starting point, while more practiced users can browse ideas for different ingredients and techniques.
