The "Gold Standard" in Pellet Production
Milled in the USA
Traeger's pellet mills are all located right here in the U.S. Having our pellet mills located in the U.S. gives Traeger the ability to oversee the process from raw wood, all the way to bagging, and ensure it meets our strong guidelines for smoke perfection every step of the way. If our pellets don’t meet our standard requirements, they don’t make it into a bag—simple as that.
PELLET PRODUCTION PROCESS
Traeger pellet mills use a special pelletizing process to create the best pellets on the market. We start with clean, green hardwood, then dry it to the optimal moisture content for smoke creation, using a rotating drum and furnace. The hardwood material is then run through a hammer mill to uniformly grind the sawdust to an optimal size. Once uniform, they’re compressed and run through a rotating die and extruded out into the signature Traeger pellets you know and love. The last step is cooling them in a holding bin before getting bagged and ready to ship to your Traeger dealer, or right to your doorstep.
SUSTAINABILITY
Traeger is focused on sustainability. Where possible, we utilize the sawdust from clean, green hardwood that would otherwise go to waste to make our pellets.
FAQS

How do you use Traeger wood pellets?
Using wood pellets when cooking is not only extremely simple but will also transform your cooking. Fill the pellet hopper with your desired pellet, set the desired temperature (Pro Tip: You can also do this in the app), and the grill does the rest. Once the grill reaches temperature, place your food on the grates and let the wood-fired magic happen. As the pellets burn, they infuse your food with delicious wood-fired flavor, turning ordinary dishes into culinary masterpieces.

Do I need to use Traeger pellets?
To ensure your grill runs at its highest performance, and your food has the purest flavor, we recommend using genuine Traeger Hardwood Pellets. Our pellets meet our strict quality standards and are made of all-natural, virgin hardwood and contain no binders or chemicals - ensuring a clean burn, trusted performance, and unmatched wood-fired flavor. Our pellets are specifically designed to yield the best results on our grills. We cannot guarantee that other wood pellets meet our strict quality standards. The use of other wood pellets, wood chips, firebricks, or heating pellets can damage your grill.
Can I leave my pellets outside?
We do not recommend storing your pellets outdoors because moisture negatively affects the pellets, sometimes making them unusable.
Do I always have to use pellets when cooking?
Yes, hardwood pellets are the heat source inside the grill and the grill cannot function without them. Not only do they provide heat, but they also provide the wood-fired flavor.
How should I store my pellets?
We recommend storing pellets indoors, in an airtight container, to avoid moisture getting into the pellets. Traeger recommends using our StayDRY Pellet Bin & Lid for optimal results.
