Our Traeger was running at 250 for about two hours while slow cooking ribs and meats. This was suppose to be a 4 hour process.

Two hours into the process there was excessive non stop white smoke coming out of the unit. My wife and I opened the lid to find out what was happening and flames shot out. THe unit was on fire. I pulled all the meat, unplugged the grill, and the fire was out of control.

I used wet towels to get the grate out and removed the metal pans. The fire pot was overflowiing with pellets and on fire. I tried to smother the fire with no luck, finally had to pour water on it. The auger apparently started turning high speed and overflowing the pellets into the fire box.

My wife got her eyes burnt and smoke inhalation from trying to stop the fire. If we had left the Traeger unattended, it would have burned our house. I called Traeger and explained the incident. The rep was not helpful and offered to send me warranty replacement parts.

I told her the issue was far beyond that. I demanded they buy back the grill and send a carrier to pick it up. I have only had it since March of 2019 and used it four times. This grill is dangerous and scares me.

I will never use Traeger ever again! They are chinese made junk.

Reason of review: Damaged or defective.

Monetary Loss: $1300.

Preferred solution: Full refund.

Traeger Pellet Grills Pros: I dont have any for this company.

Traeger Pellet Grills Cons: Fire hazzard.

The same thing happened to me today. I will never use this grill again.

If I was not outside my home would have burned down. Please report this as I did to consumer safety
