MAINTAINING YOUR GRILL

CREOSOTE AND GREASE FORMATION

AND REMOVAL

When wood pellets are burned slowly, they produce

tar and other organic vapors that combine with

expelled moisture to form creosote. The creosote

vapors condense in the relatively cool ue exhaust

of a slow-burning re. As a result, creosote

accumulates on the ue lining. When ignited,

creosote makes an extremely hot re. Airborne grease

particles will travel through the cooking chamber,

and some of this airborne grease will accumulate on

the ue lining, similar to creosote, which could be

contributory to a re.

The smokestack exhaust should be inspected at least

twice a year to determine when a creosote and/or

grease buildup has occurred.

Also, grease drippings from the food will fall onto the

grease drip tray and be channeled into the grease

drain and then out of the grill through the grease

drain tube, to be collected in the grease bucket.

These are the components of the Traeger Grease

Management System (TGMS). Grease will accumulate

in all of these locations.

All components of the TGMS should be inspected at

least twice a year for signs of grease buildup.

When creosote or grease has accumulated, it should

be removed to reduce the risk of re.

1. CLEANING OUTSIDE SURFACES:

DANGER! Turn the switch OFF (O) and

disconnect the power cord.

CAUTION! Accumulated grease is easier to

clean off when the grill is still warm—not hot.

Be careful not to burn yourself. Gloves are

recommended.

Periodically clean the grease out of the V-shaped

grease drain and grease drain tube. If too much

grease is allowed to build up in the V-shaped

grease drain or is allowed to plug the grease drain

tube, a grease re could result. We recommend

cleaning these locations regularly.

Remove the porcelain-coated grill grates and

the grease drip tray. This will provide access

to the V-shaped grease drain and grease drain

tube opening inside the grill. Scrape the grease

accumulation from inside the V-shaped grease

drain and grease drain tube using a stiff,

nonmetallic tool. Much of the loosened grease

can be pushed down through the grease drain

tube and will fall into the grease bucket. Wipe up

remaining grease residue with paper towels or

disposable rags. Paper towels or disposable rags

can also be used to wipe some of the grease off

of the interior surfaces of the grill.

2. CLEANING OUTSIDE SURFACES:

DANGER! Turn the Main Power switch OFF (O)

and disconnect the power cord.

Use a disposable rag or cloth dampened with

warm, soapy water to wipe the grease from the

outside of the grill. DO NOT use oven cleaner,

abrasive cleansers, or abrasive cleaning pads

on the outside grill surfaces.

3. OUTSIDE STORAGE:

CAUTION! If the grill is stored outside during

the rainy season, care should be taken to ensure

that water does not get into the pellet hopper.

Wood pellets expand greatly when wet and will

jam your auger. Always cover your grill when not

in use with the Traeger Grill Cover. This custom-

t cover can be purchased at traegergrills.com.

4. CLEANING THE GRILL GRATES:

CAUTION! Cleaning the grill grates works best

while they are still warm. Be careful not to burn

yourself. We recommend keeping a long-handled

cleaning brush near the grill. After removing your

food, give the grill grate a quick brushing. It takes

only a minute and it will be ready the next time

you want to use the grill.
