Why You Should Pair

By connecting your grill to WiFire® feature you're able to control your grill from anywhere. Because of the WiFi controller that connects to the Traeger app, you're able to monitor your cooks right from your phone (or smart watch) rather than monitor your smoker all day which is especially a plus for big cooks like brisket, pulled pork, or ribs.

The Traeger App offers even more grilling perks than that, though. By downloading the app, you can browse hundreds of recipes made by our in-house pros and ambassadors, and use our GrillGuide® Custom Cook Cycles for step-by-step guidance through your entire cook cycle.

Along with learning how to connect your Traeger to WiFi, there are other ways to use your pellet grill to the fullest.
