Traeger Deluxe Grill
Father's Day is the perfect time to the trigger on a Traeger, especially since the newest model features 418 square inches of cooking space, an internal hopper that holds 15 lbs of pellets, caster wheels and storage space beneath the grill. However, the thermostat is the crowning achievement on this one. It controls a fan and auger that feeds wood pellets into the smoker, so you can smoke your meat all night long. This type of long-haul performance allowed director Barry Sonnenfeld to cook ribs and duck for the entire David Letterman crew for five hours on 54th street. Dad can't go wrong with that kind of testimonial. Fire it up for $849.00 at any authorized Traeger dealer.
