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.

Seems temp issues are common

Found out the hard way on this one ruining a snake river farms beef rib. Temp does not maintain and it shot up to over 400 and caught on fire mid cook. Lost the entire meal. I should have read these reviews before I bought this one. Haven't used this unit since.

Tempature Malfunction?

Dude! This grill is hands down the best thing I've ever grilled on. Meats come out perfectly juicy and tender, and that smoke game is incredible. I love the fact you can take it anywhere. My only complaint is the temperature doesn't go to where you set it, it's wayyyyyy to high. I have to babysit and play with the tempature constantly, making the grilling not so fun. This actually the second one, my dad purchased one and had a temperature malfunction, he ended up giving me the second one for my birthday just recently and it's doing what the previous did.

Disappointed

Even when adjusted, I cannot get the Scout to maintain a constant temperature. The settings run too high and needs to be babysat so food will not burn. I have the best luck on the smoke setting. I love my home grill, though.

Not impressed, erratic temps.

I follow instructions to a T when this was fresh out of the box. It won't hold a desired temperature and usually runs away into the way too hot side. Even when resetting as per instructed, several times.

Having a known issue

The temperature won't stay stable. Can't do 225 degree slow and low smoke, because the temperature won't come down. A known factory defect. Temperature will also exceed over 450° Thank goodness the company will replace a new controller, but I still have to either do it myself or take it into the traeger dealership to have them install it for me.

Trager scout

I was super excited at first! Unfortunately this smoker does not work properly. With the temp set to 180, 225, or 250 and it climbs to well over 300. Useless for smoking.

Was good

I have the treager tailgater best grill ever to this day. I bought the Scout also it was good for about 3 months and now it runs always hot by 100° no matter what the P setting is at. It's impossible to smoke now the minimum temperature is 280° no matter what the ambient temperature is outside I also had a fire pot fire issue. Obviously this grill has issues according to the other reviews posted don't buy the smallest ones.

Temperature Control

I have 4 Traeger's including a PTG that I only use when in our RV. I cannot control the temperature and have actually had a fire in the fire pot. I have never had these problems with my other 3 Traeger's. I must say support has been very helpful but after three calls I am ready to give up on this Traeger. I have replaced the controller, still cannot control the temperature, up to over 500 degrees, replaced the RTD on second call, still no success in controlling the temperature and last was a new auger, again unable to control the temperature. As mentioned, have not had these problems with my other 3, all which I have used much more than this PTG

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.

30-Day Returns

Return all new, unused, and unassembled items in their original packaging, and we'll give you a full refund minus the cost of the original AND return shipping.
