Do you have to use pellets or can you also use wood chips?

Hi.In reading the owners manual it appears that we must use Traeger pellets only. Owning one of the grills has been a very pleasant surprise to our family.Good luck.

pellets only. Great grill. Would highly recommend. Food is better than a standard barbq.

Pellets only. Wood chips are a different composition and would not work with the auger

This only uses pellets not wood chips, it uses hard wood pellets not soft wood pellets that you would use for a pellet heater. Home depot sells pellets at $10 a bag but many other places sell them.

Only cooking wood pellets. They come in all kinds of flavors. Apple and alder wood are iur faces!

Both. From my knowledge. But I prefer pellets. They have more punching power and accuracy.

I guess you could. I use pellet carbon when I have to put carbon in them so the media stays put.

You don't need wood chips. The flavor is in your seasoning. Smoke is an option.

I have no experience with wood pellets. I can only say FP is better, from many perspectives than clay. Does wood absorb urine?

You can put wood chips or pellets directly on the cooking grate surface. Make sure you don't put the chips or pellets underneath the food you are cooking. You DO NOT need to soak wood chips for use with the grill. You can make an aluminum foil pouch to put chips or pellets in, or you can buy a small smoker box or take a small aluminum tray, fill it with wood chips/pellets, then cover the top with aluminum foil. Poke holes in the foil, and set it on the grill. again you DO NOT need to soak wood chips to get the benefits of smoke on the grill.

Cook at low temp (200-235) with good pellets (they should smell strongly of wood in the bag - if not they are too old). You should have all the smokey flavor you want....

Not sure what you had in mind but I use whole kernel corn. I'm sure pellets would be fine.

We use the wiod chunks of varying "flavors" that you can get at Cabelas or Bass Pro Shop. The documentation also says if you have dried wood (no high sap content like pine) like orange or pecan available, you can cut it into small chunks and use them.

If it's not too big of chunks it should be ok. I have put laying pellets in mine and that works.

Yes you can, I have used mainly charcoal and mix it with about 15% of flavored woods. Hope this helps

No wood chips needed. High heat sears the turkey and cooks it in about 2 hours. No oil! We really like making turkey this way.

No ,only burn approved wood pellets.Burning corn or other bio fuels can overheat the stove/chimney and cause damage or fires.

Yes but watch the heat. Like the other response I mix lump charcole and wood chips.great smoke flavor.

I use wood pellets, but not necessarily the ones by cajun injector. There are other brand available, just google wood pellets for electric smoker... But do use pellets and not wood chips...

You can use Tide pellets but I use from reading best products Wisk HE and Tide booster pellets (different from normal pellets)

You cannot use any water to soak a wood pellet as it will turn to wet saw dust, and the dry pellets would probably burn too quickly in a gas grill smoker box. I always used wood chips in my smoker box.
