If your not able to unbox something this may already be a little advanced for you.
LOL! 😂
I never did understand the unboxing thing. Doesn’t help me decide whether I want one

@matteng1448, Lol, you said it.
I bought a Traeger Ranger for Christmas. I got very frustrated with it at first but, after a few weeks I love it.
Yes, the temperature is all over the place but, it's cool here in Florida currently plus, when you open the lid the temp drops like a hammer. Nothing you can do about that. Cooking 101.
My biggest struggle was the fire pot kept running out pellets with the hopper being completely full. Turns out air pockets were developing in the pellet hopper over time.
I over came this by emptying the hopper, priming the grill with one cup of pellets ONLY, then adding two more cups, then igniting the the grill.
I also use a long metal rod to keep the pellets close to the opening of the auger every time I open the grill and add pellets as needed when check on my goodies grilling away.
Finally, I love this grill because it fits perfectly in my travel trailer garage storage. I can easily take it everywhere I go.
Happy New Year Y'all.
Excellent job on explaining the Ranger. I looked at one today and thought it over a little but was in kind of a hurry as I had lots to do. But after watching your video I am going back soon and buy it. I subscribed to your channel as soon as video was over and look forward to more from you. Thank you.
My wife just got me one for our 41st. I think I can use it tonight. Thank you for the great review.
Great review. I’m poking around for a camping grill and this little Traeger sounds just about right. Thanks!
This was a great review :) Thank you so much for sharing!
Thanks for the review, I just bought a Ranger and I'm very excited about it
Just bought one to take camping because I love the Traeger Pro 575 so much that I just got. Can't wait to try it out! Great video. Thanks.
Great review! Looks like the small size would work great for city living too. I was a little worried about the size not being enough, but everyone seems to say it does the job.
Thanks for the thorough review. I just bought one for my daughter for Christmas 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Just watched your review of the Traeger Ranger. Really enjoyed all the information and your easy going presentation. Nice job!
Thanks so much John.
Great! I'm just starting to look at this stuff and I like what I'm seeing
Thanks for sharing. Great explanations. Just got one
Nicely done - about to get one - great job on the video!!!
"IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO OPEN A BOX, THIS MIGHT BE A LITTLE ADVANCED" haha great review! Thank you sir.
Great review My wife just won one at her company party. Came to your video and I think you did an awesome review. 👍🏾
This is an outstanding review. Thank you
Yo. Thank you for the awesome review. Much appreciated 💯
Any time! Thanks for watching.
Absolutely love this review. Love from the U.K. my friend!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for an awesome review! Love ours too!!
Thanks really enjoyed the review.
Glad you enjoyed it
The unboxing bit made me laugh and was spot on 😂
Great review!! I wasn't sure if it would work for me because it's small. But it's exactly what I need. I never understood the reason for an unboxing video!!
Great job! Love love love Traeger products take my money lol can’t wait to put in my lineup 💨
Great review! Thank you!
Great review! Thank you Sir
Well done Sr. a head to head comparison of the Ranger to the Tailgater Yes! Please 👍🏻
I’m new to Traeger and I’m glad to have found your tutorial easy to understand and can’t wait to grill. Mahalo from Hawaii. Rox p.s. you remind me of my dad…
Great review Sandy, hope you are well brother!
Love your review my wife just got me one for my birthday and I can’t wait to smoke something on it!
Great review! I just purchased a Traeger Ranger and enjoyed your overview. My only question is how do you carry it around? It's not light, and without side handles, it seems like it might be difficult
Thank you Sir for confirming my doubts about ranger. I definitely looking forward to buying this amazing smoker. Does it produce a lot of smoke?
Looks like you are doing a great job of keeping your Ranger clean. I've seen a few photos of Rangers that looked like cesspits of grease and creosote! Any notes that you would like to pass along on proper cleaning?
Thanks for the great overview! One question: Can you reset the desired temperature by the up/down buttons AFTER you have started the Traeger, or do you have to restart completely?
Awesome video man. I appreciate it
I just brought a ranger love it cook steaks on it came out perfect
Great review! Thanks
Great video, thank you. You you say there is enough clearance to smoke a smaller brisket? Or is a pork butt/shoulder about the limit? Also is there an auto shut off with the meat probe?
Very comprehensive review - love to hear your accent too! :) From two Canadian Grill Masters!
Accent? I don't have an accent. You have an accent! LOL.....thanks for watching and commenting! Cheers, and keep piddlin!
Merci mec👍
I used the flat griddle without the drip tray and grill grates. Set max temp and wow a perfect seared steak everytime
I'm picking one of these up tomorrow. I'll watch this video a few times to get familiar with mine as I go. It'll be my first pellet grill. I've been loyal to my egg, I feel like I'm cheating.
Dude how many grills do you have? Great review thank you. I'm looking for something small but killer that I can use on my apartment patio and found this video.
Thanks for your review brother
You bet!
Thanks.. Great review.
Thanks for watching!
Got one today for my birthday. I own a series 22 so I’m familiar with Traegers. Do you need to let the ranger run for 15 min before it’s ready to put food on or is it ready when temp is reached? Great Video!
Which kind of wood pellets do you use? Thanks. Great review.
Hey! Great review. Those cast iron grates you show, where can I get these exactly like these? They fit!
I was gifted one of these a while back. LOVE it. The only issue (and it's rather small) is that in my experience, if it's windy out, the temperature tends to jump around a lot when it's on low temp. for long smoking. I think 'maybe' it's because the volume of air inside is smaller in relation to larger Traeger's and it gets 'changed over' faster. It also might be a combination of that & that it doesn't have the chimney, and the wind gets into the louvers easier. It's not a deal breaker for me, but something to be mindful of in windy conditions. Overall I love it and I haven't messed up a cook yet, and I'm a terrible cook, so that's saying something. LOL.
Eric Bent that’s good to know Eric. I haven’t cooked with it on a windy day yet. Maybe a makeshift windscreen might be in order. 👍🏻🍻
Opuoipuppupuuouuuuuuu
Great review
I bought the Traeger Ranger last fall. Love it! Perfect for smoking and reverse searing stakes. Planning to do some ribs this weekend if it will warm up enough.
This is most likely a stupid question, But I've never had one of these! Do the pellets auto release when they are getting low? Or is it a manual deal? Whilst cooking I mean
I noticed since your first video with the tailgater you have the new controller. Is that better than the other one with the knob. Will traeger update any old ones? I just bought one and noticed it had the old knob style. Thabks in advance.
Just sold my Weber Performer charcoal grill and Brinkmann electric smoker. We’re empty nesters and I am seriously considering this model of Treager. We wouldn’t need anything larger for just the two of us.
Have you used it in colder weather, i found that if you get a welding blanket to cover the top of the grill it will heat up faster in weather below 32 degrees, i put a pizza stone on it, you will have to cut a little notch for the heat probe put it does not effected at all. I have cooked on it with the blanket over it in 10 degree temperture. I have grill grate but i have not tried them yet will move them from my other grills. going to smoke some sturgoen on it this week
Really like that ranger....gotta get one!!!
Excellent review
Thank you for the review. Can you fit 2 racks of porc ribs on it?
i just bought the ranger june 2022, i have cooked burger man they were so good
10 4. I have the Timberline 1300 but looking for camping/tailgater. Im sold. appreciate the content. Blessings.
1ST BEOTCHES! Awwwwww it's so cute. I WANT ONE! Sandy, I was thinking about doing a whole hog. Would you recommend this little guy for that. What about some brontosaurus ribs like Fred Flintstone? Haha. All kidding aside it's good to see you again commander.
Great Review!
Always great information! Smoke on brother!
great videos!!!!!! could you PLEASE do a video smoking a Porterhouse Steak on the Traeger
So would you buy the Ranger or the Tailgater if you had to choose one for a family of 4 and almost daily cooking at an apartment balcony. Considering cook space, ease of portability and design. I like both of these to have at home and also take camping. The ranger looks cooler and easier to move around but feel like tailgater is worth it for bigger cooking space
That's a cool unit!
I'm fascinated by the whole pellet thing. I am not sure how that works from box to hot plate. Great review. I have an apartment balcony and am thinking of getting one of these to grill out on the balcony.
Hey Shawn! Did you end up getting a pellet BBQ for your balcony? I’m also thinking about getting one for my balcony so I’m curious if you did and want to share any experiences? :)
Very good review, I have been looking at the Trager Ranger for my wife and I to us as we travel. Your review answered all the questions that I had and more and we feel very comfortable to now make the purchase of the Trager Ranger.
Where di you get the searing grates that you have, I have been looking for something just like them.
Best regards,
Mike
Thanks Mike.....grillgrates link: amzn.to/2IPJF1n
Nice little rig .
Awesome review! Also, where did you get that awesome hat?
the the drip pail fit inside the grill for storage?
Do you have any videos On the power supply that would be helpful thanks
I'm looking into purchasing a grill but it has to be small. I'm grilling for one person only, me. So my choices have come down to a Hibachi grill or the Traeger Ranger. I'm leaning towards the Traeger because I prefer not to deal with charcoal. Like I said It's intended for one person and maybe only occasional usage.
Very cool 😎
I have the Pit Boss version of this. It is half the price, but I have a lot of trouble with smoke coming from the hopper due to backfire. Have you noticed this with this model?
Please where did you get the gate. And do you find that the temp runs to high for slow smoking?
What is your yeti sitting on? I've been looking for a rolling stand for mine. Thanks.
Question: one of the aspects of a portable grill is to be truly portable including a power source, but of course this runs off electricity. Do you know what the wattage is or what the smallest generator you could use would be?
Great video
Don’t have one yet but we have a bus and usually cook outside. Does it have to be on a heat resistant table when cooking? Do you always cook with the lid down?
That would fit on my coffee table and I could sit on the couch and cook.
When on the road where or how do you plug in your Traeger? A battery? Do you need a converter to a battery or some other device?
Dude that intro made me laugh my ass off 😂
Got one for Christmas haven’t cracked it open yet was wondering does it have a cold smoke feature ?
Great video!
Do you know if the controller on the Ranger is a PID type controller or a Time/Duty Cycle type? How well does it control temperature?
I have a Traeger Scout, and it is just awful at temp control.
Where can I purchase the grill grate for this particular model. I’m hank you and appreciate your channel
Excellent review, can’t seem to see where you put where I can get the searing grates, but loved the the review
Gary Mains sorry Gary. I just added it in the description box, but here is a link as well. Cheers! amzn.to/2lPJF1n
Great review! Just purchased ours and I can't wait to start using it. We RV all the time and I'm excited to take it on the road. I may be asking you specific questions once I get into it (if you don't mind). Anyway, thanks for the review and God bless you and your family.
Ask anytime Raul.
Can you do beer can chicken on either? Or even just a smoked chicken/Turkey
Thank you for the great video! Where can we purchase the grill grates? Thank you again!

I'll stay here and watch the advanced version LMAO!!
Where do u find links
Found this on Snap, dude had a gmc diesel just like mine and plugged it in the tailgate. Is this electric?
Grill Grates are the 👑
Can you cook two Tri-Tips on there at the same time? Thank you for the video. It was very informative.
Yes you can!
@@JusPiddlinBBQ Thank you Sir.
do you need to latch the lid while you are smoking with the grill?
how is the cleaning? Im looking to store in RV and grease is a concern
I appreciate the review. I am torn between the Ranger & Tailgater . I am concerned with the surface space of the Ranger when you are cooking for 4 to 6 people at the same time. any insight would be helpful. Also, is there a particular generator you recommend?
I have the generac iq2000. There is a review on my channel for it.
Any issues with this heating up on the bed of a truck? Or tailgate?
Лучший из компактных! Спасибо 👍
