Title: Camping with 3WR
Review: First weekend actually cooking on this, I was happy except you have to make sure it is level and on a sturdy table. I had it on a plastics folding table and it worked however the plastic got warm and the grill sunk a little making uneven and had a couple of fires in the bottom when using griddle cooking bacon. I removed griddle and used grate and no issues. It worked great! Friends that went with us now want to purchase one as they liked it and we used every meal for 3 days. Only used 1.5 hoppers of pellets entire time.

Title: Absolutely need for camping and beach days
Review: This was a purchase made by my husband. We have our big one but wanted something we can use for camping and to take to the beach with us. We absolutely loved that we could smoke a turkey breast and head out on the boat. Fits about 6 burgers, we grilled brats one day and smoked a turkey breast the next.We were missing a part but a quick email and the part was to us in 2 days. Would recommend to everyone!

Title: It's not set and forget
Review: You need to know the basics of bbq. It's gonna flare on ribeye. I wish the vents were controllable to limit heat and o2 to system. Other than that it's great

Title: Cooks and smokes wonderful. Easy Bake oven simplicity.
Review: Bought for my motorhome, but may have to keep at the house now. Perfect for around 4 people, maybe 6. First cook. 5 lb rib roast. 2 hrs @ 250. 2nd. 1 1/2 thick NY steak. 1 hr @ 225. Remove and crank the heat to 450 (10 ish min). Sear for @ 5-7 min. 3rd. Pair of pork tenderloins. Heat to 375 and cooked for 30 min (start to finish, 45 min). Rave reviews from wife and family. Great recipes with cook times on Traeger web site.Customer LIVE person phone support is phenomenal and open until 10pm mountain. My meat probe would not work on the controller. First call, they said probe was bad and sent me a new on, arriving in 4 business days. Following the instructions in manual, it still would not register temperature. 2nd call. The rep told me the manual is wrong on how to access the meat temp. Manual says âpress center buttonâ. You actually do a quick double tap on the button for meat temp and a quick single tap for the timer. Both of these worked. He told me he has put in a request for an update to the manual.I may now be ordering a second for the motorhome to replace the gas grill, charcoal grill, LPG tanks and hoses and bag of charcoal. Cooks both slow and can make a fast meal. Have not tried the included cast iron griddle yet.

Title: Absolute Beast
Review: I really love this grill. I used to have a full size Traeger, and I found that even with the cover, it was hard to keep it dry enough to not run into issues. And since I don't have space in my garage for a larger one, I set my sights on the portable Ranger. It has not disappointed me, and I've lost about 10 pounds in the month since I got it. i love using it so much, that I regularly grill chicken, shrimp, elk, bison, etc. No more frozen pizzas and sandwiches for dinner.It is pretty heavy, but I don't mind carrying it in and out of the garage. I run an extension cord out into my driveway, which also has convenient doors right from the kitchen, so it works well. It's the perfect grill for any situation where you're going to be out and about. Camping, tailgating...as long as you have the right power source setup, this thing will get the job done.I find that it's extremely simple to use this grill. You could not engineer a more simple electronic grilling device. It is easy to clean, the pellets burn at a reasonably slow rate, and the flavors are just epic. I highly recommend pairing this grill with the traeger brand seasonings. I love them. I also recommend the drip pan liners, as they are a lot easier to clean up than aluminum foil, which tends to burn at high temperatures in this grill.I haven't had any issues whatsoever, and I find keeping it stored in the garage, and carrying outside when needed is a really convenient arrangement for me. I would not recommend keeping it inside your house, unless you want the house to smell like barbecue all the time. Just remember to let the grill to go through its cool down cycle before powering down, and always give yourself plenty of time to let the grill cool off before you pick it up and carry it.

Title: Use Traeger pellets. You can find them at Home Depot.
Review: I like cooking on wood pellets. We have 3 Traeger grills now. The Ranger will be a part of our RV equipment versus a charcoal grill.
