I sold my Traeger Junior that I used for camping and picnics. The new PTG is so much more convenient and portable. The grill size is smaller, only 12x15, but it's plenty for cooking up about six burgers, a chicken, or a pork butt. It's not tall enough for a beer can chicken, but that's what my Lil Tex is for. I noticed a new feature on the controller. The "shutdown cycle". Keeps the fan running for 10 minutes to burn out any remaining pellets. That way your firebox doesn't get plugged up w/ ash as often. I wish my digital controller on my Lil Tex had that function.

I recently used a PTG while fishing for 5 days on the Bighorn river in Montana. The grill worked very nicely for grilling steaks and I even managed to smoke pork chops successfully on the PTG. However, the initial try at smoking was not successful due to the temperature on the smoke setting reaching 350˚F. It settled down to 160˚F after about 45 minutes. Apparently, the small size of the grill requires starting on smoke and letting it burn out the initial pellet charge for 15 min with the lid open before closing the lid and smoking. This is my third Traeger and overall, I am satisfied with the PTG. I also bought the PTG stand directly from Traeger. The stand is advertised as collapsible but it requires 18 screws for assembly. It comes with a bag for portability, but I cannot see taking 1/2 hour to assemble and 1/2 hour to disassemble each time you want to use it. The stand is definitely not a portable apparatus. I recommend the PTG but not the stand.

Honest reviews on Traeger Portable Grill PTG

Excellent service. Quick delivery. Quality of product seems on par with other Traeger products. I've only used the grill once and it seemed to work fine. One design flaw is that I wish you could add or check pellets without lifting the main lid. Any traeger person knows you lose previous heat every time you have to check on the pellets.

We already have two other Traegers. Now the family is complete. The Junior is great for large gatherings and the tailgate is perfect for just our family. Now, with the portable, it will fit nicely in our trailer for our weekend getaways!!! Can't have enough Tragers!
