Take the convenience and rich flavor of a wood burning pellet grill anywhere with the Scout portable pellet grill by Traeger. Taking place of the popular Traeger PTG, the Scout offers an overall improved design and features a Digital Pro Controller and meat probe. is perfect for camping, tailgating, picnics and boating. This little grill runs off of a standard 110 volt outlet. Do not let its size fool you, this grill is made of powder coated steel, and boasts 16,000 BTUs of cooking power. The 184 square inch porcelain coated grilling surface produces excellent sear marks and easy cleanup. The versatility of this pellet grill allows you to smoke at temperatures as low as 165 degrees and then crank it up to 450 degrees to sear to perfection. The natural airflow inside of the grill allows for convection cooking, so you can bake pizza right on your grill and cook meat at lower temperatures without any flipping. Traeger grills feature an auto-start system that is simple and safe to use. When you turn on the grill, the auger begins to feed pellets into the firepot while the draft induction fan feeds air into it. The igniter rod is activated and glows red hot for the first four minutes to ignite the pellets in the firepot. The digital Pro Controller allows for easy temperature control with a low Smoke setting, 25 degree incremental temperature settings and a High setting for grilling. Plug in the included meat probe and monitor food temperatures without even lifting the lid. The 4 pound capacity hopper provides plenty of on-the-go grilling time, burning at a rate of 2 lbs per hour on high heat, 1 lb per hour on medium heat and only 1/2 lb per hour when smoking. Rubber feet and latches on the hood keep your grill secure during transportation.

good for small quantities and traveling

This is a replacement grill for my old Scout that failed and could not be repaired. My hat is oft the support that I received from Traeger in attempting to repair the old one. after numerous attempts, Traeger elected to send a new grill, the old one one was at least 2 years old. we have used the scout for traveling and have had good success with a learning curve. the temperature is not very accurate so after a few trials, you can adapt to the issues or complain. it is easier the adapt site this small grill cannot be expected to match the larger ones. aim well pleased with varying items I have cooked and will continue to recommend the Traeger grill to folks, It does provide a unique flavor to the foods and if your needs are to have a portable smoker then the scout is possibly a good choice.

Great grill!

We purchased the Scout 3 months ago. We have cooked steak, pork chops, shrimp, and chicken on it. It is so easy to use and the food is amazing on it.

Great for grilling on the go but it 3 issues

This is my second Traeger and overall it is an awesome little grill for camping. I have a select pro and now this so even if im cooking for two people I use my Scout because its easier and smaller. If I were to change 3 things. Number 1: the weight! It isn't the lightest for being a travel Grill. Number 2: the temperature is so hard to maintain set it at 250 and sometimes its over 400 (i don't have any issues with my other Traeger with this) Number 3: the rubber caps over the feet constantly fall off I already lost 2 while traveling.

Cooks great but ........

I have only had the grill a few days. I have used it three times and everything came out great. My only issue so far is how the digital display thermostat is all over the place on temperature . I am assuming the probe is in the firebox. Where ever it is - it needs to be moved for that display. I bought a thermostat for grills and put on lid. That thermostat shows temperature to be accurate and consistent with temp setting on dial.

Temp all over the place

I just got the Scout as a Xmas gift. I set the temp at 225 after seasoning the grill and following the pellet instructions. The temp probe showed 145 meat was till raw. Also the temp never stayed at 225. It went from 353 down to 119. How do I correct this?

Temp control erratic

I set up the grill the way the booklet says - start with the lid closed - never worked for me. It would just smoke a lot and would never get to the desired temp. I tried with the lid open for some time and then close it - worked. Temp control is still an issue - swings a lot and never comes to set range. When set to, say 300, it would stay in 350+ only. Veg food is very temp sensitive and burns quickly with a slight swing - so this grill is not working for me. The pit / hopefully I'm calling it correct / where wood burns is small and have less appetite for ash so operation time can not exceed beyond a couple of hours. Another bummer. I was very excited about the idea of an automated grill and really liked the outcome but seems like need a better device.

LOVE / HATE Relationship

Temp issues on our SCOUT... Temp jumps around to much. Very disappointed!! On a recent camping trip I stepped aside for a couple minutes to grab burger toppings and buns, the temp jumped, caught the grease dripping on fire. TOTAL MESS!! Had to install a new power cord because it melted the original, burgers turned into hockey pucks. After the fact the unit needed a major cleaning! (This was not the first time, however, the worst) If I baby set it its good, but thats not the idea. I wish I had got the RANGER instead. My buddy has one and loves it... no issues. Looking to purchase the Timberline series soon... hope I have no issues.

When will my item arrive?

Once shipped, items usually arrive within 3-5 business days. While UPS and FedEx are our carriers for smaller items, be aware that larger items and orders are shipped via freight. The freight process is a bit more complicated than what we've all come to expect for small parcels, so it's important that you're prepared and understand what's required of you well before delivery day.

  • Most freight products ship on a pallet
  • Some carriers will call to schedule a delivery window, while others will deliver the shipment to a reasonably accessible location closest to your residence (their goal is to deliver as near a garage door as they can).
  • We'll specify which process you can expect in your shipping confirmation email.

For carriers that schedule delivery appointments:

Carriers that schedule delivery appointments require you to be home for delivery and provide your signature. The delivery is made with a semi-truck with lift gate services, and the shipment is dropped off at the curb. If you authorize the shipping company to leave the delivery without a signature, BBQGuys can't be held responsible for damages that occur during delivery. As complicated as this process may seem, we've only scratched the surface here — please review our detailed guide to freight delivery so there are no surprises when a freight shipment heads your way.

For carriers that deliver without an appointment:

Carriers that deliver without an appointment don't require you to be home or set up a delivery window, and you aren't required to sign for the pallet(s). Instead of scheduling an appointment, arranging your schedule to be home for the delivery, and signing to confirm receipt, you can sit back and let your items come to you. If you're home at the time of the drop-off, you can request the driver place your delivery in the garage; if you're out of the house, the driver will leave it near the garage or doorstep.

This item leaves our warehouse within 24 Hours
