The Go-Anywhere Traeger Ranger Pellet Grill | TFT18KLD
Take the convenience and rich flavor of a wood burning pellet grill anywhere with the Ranger portable pellet grill by Traeger. The Ranger offers even more control over grilling temperatures thanks to the Digital Arc Controller and 36,000 BTU output, allowing you to set grill temperatures in 5-degree increments.
Advance Grilling Logic ensures precise temperature performance, while the included meat probe and built-in cook timer allow you check temps and know when to check on food. A built-in Keep Warm Mode ensures foods are hot and ready when you are.
Ranger: Perfect for On-the-Go Grilling and Smoking
This portable pellet grill is perfect for camping, tailgating, picnics, and boating. This little grill runs off a standard 110-volt outlet. The 184 square inch porcelain coated grilling surface produces excellent sear marks and easily cleans up. 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. Enjoy breakfast on the go and sear steaks to perfection using the included cast iron griddle. Rubber feet and latches on the hood keep your grill secure during transportation.
Easy to Start
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 8-pound capacity hopper provides plenty of on-the-go grilling time.
Traeger Ranger FAQ
Can you smoke on the Traeger Ranger?
The Ranger can hold temperatures in the low-and-slow range. The only limitation is its size - the cooking grid is 15 x 12 inches, so larger items may be a bit too large to fit.
Does the Traeger Ranger need electricity?
The Ranger requires a standard 110 volt outlet.
How much can you fit on a Traeger Ranger?
The cooking grid is 15 x 12 inches, which does limit capacity. BBQGuys estimates you can grill 6 burgers at one time.
Can you smoke a brisket on a Traeger Ranger?
Absolutely! The only limitation is size, so you may have a challenge trying to fit a very large brisket in the Ranger. We've seen briskets up to 20 inches in length and 12 inches in width, so you'll probably want to go with a medium-sized brisket. Trimming your brisket may also help it fit.
Can the Traeger Ranger get wet?
It can, but note that if the lid gets wet that will likely cause the internal temperature to drop, which can affect your cook time. We recommend keeping it under cover when not in use.
How big is the Traeger Ranger?
The Ranger is 21 inches wide, 20 inches deep, and 13 inches high. It weighs in at a whopping 60 lbs.

Smoked a butt on it first run out. Worked great, got it for the RV. Keep in mind it's a small grill so try not to look and just let it cook.

Design flaw… the safety grid in the hopper doesn't allow pellets to fall into the auger correctly…creating a tunnel then you have to constantly check and push pellets down. Not convenient when cooking a pork butt or something longer than 30-40 minutes.

I have an Ironwood 885 at home and needed a grill to mount on my boat for the summer. The Ranger was the best option and looks and works perfectly.

This is my 2nd Traeger. Very easy to clean and so far, I love it. Bought the case and use it as a cover (flipping it over). Then, I can pack and carry as needed.

I've had my Ranger Grill for a year now. I can't say enough good things about this. Wife and I just became empty nesters so it is the perfect size. Keeps heat just fine from my experience. Easy to clean. For transportation it is on the heavy size. Right side latch gets SUPER hot but in talking with Traeger's awesome customer service, I learned that those latches are just to transport. Not during cooking. Didn't appear to make a difference unlatched version latched when cooking. My old Akorn I kept latched during cooking to keep the smoke in so I just can't break that habit, so I use gloves and am careful. I wish wish wish they had built sturdy handles on the sides of the grill to make moving it easier. I have cooked pork, salmon, beef and all have been super easy. Definitely don't just unplug the grill when done. Follow the instructions. There is a 5 min cycle down that keeps the fill tube primed. I use a cover made for the grill and also another larger grill cover that covers the Ranger and the small table I got from Amazon. Keep Hickory pellets in hopper and they stayed dry through (now two) Tennessee winters which are notoriously wet. Can't say enough good things about it. Add some handles and blue tooth on Ranger v2.

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.
