Atlantic Outdoor Welcomes Traeger Grills: Wood‑Fired Cooking Made Easy

We’ve cooked on propane, charcoal, and even kamado-style ceramics, but a wood‑pellet grill does something special: it gives you genuine smoke flavour with push‑button simplicity. That’s why we’re SO excited to add Traeger Grills to the Atlantic Outdoor lineup. We used that excitement to put together a quick guide to the models we’re stocking, the accessories that make life easier, and a few FAQs to get you started.
What Makes a Traeger Different?
Real Hardwood Pellets
Pellets are compressed sawdust from 100 % hardwoods - no binders or fillers. They burn clean, produce steady heat, and add a subtle, genuine smoke character.
Digital Temperature Control
Set your temp (from “Super Smoke” at 165 °F up to 500 °F) and the controller manages the auger and fan. Expect oven‑level accuracy - rare in the barbecue world.
WiFIRE® Connectivity
On WiFIRE models you can monitor probes, change temperatures, or activate Keep Warm from the Traeger app. Handy when you’re inside prepping sides or chasing the kids.
Versatility in One Lid
Smoke ribs for six hours, bake a berry cobbler, then crank the heat for smash burgers. With indirect convection heat, flare‑ups are a non‑issue.

About 15 minutes to reach 400 °F. For low‑and‑slow (225 °F), you’ll be ready in roughly ten.
At 225 °F, plan on 15-18 hours of cook time. High‑heat grilling will use pellets faster: 2-3 lb per hour.
Yes. Pre‑heat to 450 - 500 °F, add the cast‑iron sear grate (or use the Timberline induction burner), and you’ll get a solid crust in 90 seconds per side.
We do! Our technicians can assemble, test‑fire, and drop off your grill. Ask in-store for pricing and delivery radius.
