From low & slow to hot & fast

When it comes to pellet grills, many people primarily think of slow-cooked meat, such as pulled pork or brisket. But with a Traeger, you can do much more. During this workshop, you will discover how to use different temperatures to smoke, grill, bake, and cook.

You will learn when a low temperature with wood smoke yields the best results and when a higher temperature is more suitable. We also focus on combining techniques so that you can prepare dishes with more control and confidence.

Discover the differences between Traeger Timberline, Woodridge, and Ranger

During the workshop, you will use various Traeger models. The Timberline XL offers extensive possibilities for outdoor cooking, while the Woodridge models demonstrate how accessible cooking on a pellet grill can be. The compact Ranger is ideal for getting acquainted with pellet barbecuing in a smaller format.

By working with these models yourself, you discover which features are important for your barbecuing style. Think of size, operation, temperature control, and ease of use.
