With a smaller footprint and legs that fold flat the Tailgater black 20-inch pellet grill is perfect for apartment balconies tailgating or anywhere else you want to bring the wood-fired flavor. This grill is constructed of a powder coated steel and boasts 19500 BTUs of cooking power. The 300 square inches of porcelain coated grilling surface produces excellent sear marks while being easy to clean. Features EZ-Fold legs that offer maximum portability letting you quickly place the grill in the bed of your truck the back of your SUV or the trunk of your car and be on your way. The versatility of this pellet grill allows you to smoke at temperatures as low as 180 degrees and then crank it up to 450 degrees to sear to perfection. The Digital Arc Controller displays the temperature inside the grill on the bright orange LED panel and is monitored by a resistance temperature detector probe which keeps the preset temperature in 5-degree increments. Keep Warm Mode maintains the hot temperature of the food for when it comes off the grill. Traeger grills feature an auto-start system that is simple and safe to use. The natural airflow inside of the grill allows for convection cooking so you can bake a pizza right on your grill or slow smoke a large brisket. Turning and flipping different kinds of meat will be necessary at high temperatures. When you turn on the grill the auger begins to feed pellets into the firepot while the draft induction fan feeds air into it. The igniter rod is activated and glows red hot for the first four minutes to ignite the pellets in the firepot. These cost-effective pellets burn at a rate of only 2 lbs per hour on high heat 1 lb per hour on medium heat and only 1/2 lb per hour when smoking.
