• Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning:
headache, dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting,
sleepiness, and confusion. Carbon monoxide
reduces the blood’s ability to carry oxygen.
Low blood oxygen levels can result in loss of
consciousness and death.
• See a doctor if you or others develop cold- or
u-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity
of this appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning,
which can easily be mistaken for a cold or u, is
often detected too late.
• Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the
eects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
• Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to mother
and child during pregnancy, infants, the elderly,
smokers, and people with blood or circulatory system
problems, such as anemia or heart disease.
• Only use your Traeger outside on a noncombustible
oor and away from combustible materials.
• Never use gasoline, gasoline-type lantern fuel,
kerosene, charcoal lighter uid, or ammable liquids
to start or “freshen up” a re in this appliance. Keep
all such liquids well away from this appliance when
in use.
Please read this entire manual before installation and use of this pellet-burning appliance. Failure to follow these
instructions could result in property damage, bodily injury, or even death. Contact local building or re ocials
about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area.
Cooking with a hardwood re will bring years of enjoyment to you, your family, and those lucky friends you will
be cooking for. Your new Traeger grill is specially designed to make cooking easier, while giving you optimal
performance with the most savory-avored food.
As with all grills and cooking appliances, any time you burn a material (whether it be wood, gas, or charcoal),
organic gases are formed during the cooking process. One gas that can be particularly harmful in concentrated
quantities is carbon monoxide. In an outdoor, open-air environment, carbon monoxide should naturally dissipate
and not harm you.
WARNING! Follow these guidelines to prevent this colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you, your family,
or others:
IMPORTANT: READ CAREFULLY AND RETAIN FOR FUTURE REFERENCE.
If you are assembling this unit for someone else, provide this manual for the owner to read and save for
future reference.

ADDING FLAVOR TO YOUR FIRE
Creating 100% food-grade hardwood pellets comes naturally to Traeger
®
. Our four US mills process pure
hardwood, blended for the perfect balance of smoke to heat and superior quality you can taste every time.
Crafting the highest-quality hardwood pellets on the market starts from the ground up. We built our plants
in Oregon, Texas, and Georgia near the hardwood source, and we dedicate our manufacturing to food-grade
pellets only, maintaining the purity of our machinery.
Traeger pellets contain two natural ingredients: our signature blend of hardwoods and a simple soybean oil.
When manufacturing the premium hardwood pellets that elevate your meal to the next level, less is always
more. No additives, no llers, no binding agents — just simply natural avor.

An adjustable three-tier stainless steel grate
system offers options to load up all three grill
grates for a true feast; remove the middle and
top grates for taller food like Beer Can Chicken
or a colossal turkey, or lower the bottom grate
into a sear position for perfect grill marks.
You don’t have to worry about drippings
aring up and causing those nasty reballs
that destroy your meal, because Traeger
Wood Fired Grills are designed to cook by
using indirect heat. All drippings are safely
channeled into an external grease pan for
easy disposal.

) of grilling
space, your Traeger grill has the real estate for
party-sized orders of T-bones or racks of ribs,
with enough room left over to handle various
side dishes, too.
With the Traeger Timberline Grill, multi-
step cooking is as easy as pulling out your
phone. The WiFIRE remote is programmed
with custom cook cycles that can be cued up
automatically with a recipe download from our
Traeger App.
A 24-pound-capacity pellet hopper (10.8 kg) will
keep you cooking for hours, getting you away
from the grill and back to entertaining friends
and family.
Traeger’s signature barrel shape creates a
vortex of convection. It circulates hot, smoky
air around the cooking chamber, surrounding
your food with 20,000-36,000* BTUs of wood-
red heat for even cooking on all sides.

Before you can get started smoking up some amazingly tasty food, you will need to prime the grease trap.
The grease trap on your Traeger Timberline Grill acts as a barrier to redirect the cold smoke up towards the
heat shield/chimney. In order for it to work correctly, follow these easy steps:
NOTE: As you use your grill, the water
in the grease trap will slowly be replaced
by grease from the drip tray. If you see
smoke coming out of the bottom of the
grill, you will need to add more water
to the trap to replace what’s evaporated
during the cooking process.
PRIMING THE GREASE TRAP
1
Remove all grill grates, grease drip
tray, and heat shields.
2
Remove black cap from grease trap.
Add about a cup of water (or ax seed
oil, if desired) to the trap. Replace cap.
3
While the grill grates, grease drip tray,
and heat shields are out of the grill, this
is a good time to prime the auger. Go
to "Seasoning Your Grill" and follow the
easy steps there to get Traeger’ing.

HOPPER CLEAN-OUT
Your Traeger Timberline Grill has a hopper clean-out system that allows you to quickly
change from one pellet avor to another without making a mess.
1
Turn the Main Power switch to
OFF (O) and disconnect the power
cord. If the grill is still hot, allow
it to cool completely.
2
Place a container large enough to hold
the discarded pellets under the pellet
clean-out door.
TIP: A clean 5-gallon bucket works great!
3
Unscrew the clean-out door fastener and
open, allowing the pellets to empty into
the container below it. You might need a
spatula or spoon to push the remaining
pellets out of the hopper.
NOTE: The pellets remaining in the auger
do not need to be removed; they will burn

VERSATILE LOWER GRATE
RACK STOPS
CUTTING BOARD
GRILL COVER
You can change the placement of the bottom grill grate
for two different cooking options: Sear Position and
Smoke Position.
In Sear Position, the grill grate should be placed at the
lowest point in the grill body cavity, resting on the lowest
back brackets and the lip at the front. This ensures that
the radiant heat from the grease drip tray is maximized
and your food has sear marks.
For Smoke Position, place the grill grate on the
higher front brackets, sliding it into the channel at
the back. This will allow the smoke to fully circulate
for convection cooking.
Located at the front of the slider brackets for both the
bottom and middle grates, rack stops provide additional
stability when accessing food. Simply slide the grate out
until the crossbar catches in the rack stop, and you’ll
be able to ip burgers or baste ribs easily without the
rack tipping.
NOTE: Only move the bottom and middle grill grates; the
top grill grate should remain in place since it does not slide.
For added convenience, your Timberline Grill includes a removable bamboo cutting board. Simply set the
cutting board on top of the hopper and the magnetic base will hold it in place. For the proper maintenance
and cleaning of your cutting board, see "Maintaining Your Grill" on page 25.
IMPORTANT: Do not leave the cutting board outside in the sun or exposed to high temperatures for long
periods of time. High temperatures and sunlight may cause the board to warp.
For consumers in North America:
IMPORTANT: In accordance with guidelines from the American Heart Association, as with many products
containing magnets, it is recommended that those with implantable pacemakers/debrillators should use
care with the cutting board and keep their device 12 inches (30 cm) away from the board.
For consumers in the European Union:
IMPORTANT: In accordance with guidelines from the medical device manufacturers, as with many products
containing magnets, it is recommended that those with implantable pacemakers/debrillators should use
care with the cutting board and keep their device 30 cm away from the board.
Protect your Timberline Grill with a premium custom cover, designed to withstand the elements.
This durable grill cover is available for purchase at traegergrills.com.

OPERATING TIPS
1. You can change the temperature at any time
during grilling to increase or decrease cooking
temperature.
To change between Fahrenheit and Celsius:
a. Press MENU.
b. Select SETTINGS.
c. Select TEMPERATURE UNITS.
d. Choose either FAHRENHEIT (°F) or
CELSIUS (°C).
e. Select BACK.
You will now see temperatures displayed in the
format you’ve chosen.
2. WARNING! Your Traeger Timberline Grill
should never be moved while it is hot. If you
are transporting your grill in a vehicle after
cooking on it, make sure the re is completely
out and the grill is cold before placing it in any
vehicle. Never put water into the repot; it will
jam the auger.
3. Your Traeger Timberline Grill is designed to
operate with the door closed. Cooking with the
door open greatly lengthens your cooking time.
4. CAUTION! Never add pellets by hand to a hot
repot. This is dangerous and you may be
seriously burned. If you run out of pellets and
lose your re while cooking, let the grill cool
completely and start again with the “HOPPER
CLEAN-OUT" instructions on page 21.
5. CAUTION! Make sure the heat shield is properly
seated on its locating brackets. If not seated
properly, direct heat and ame could come
up out of the repot and cause a grease re
in the grill.
Always take into account the type of food you are
cooking.
• Thin foods need high heat and shorter cook
times, while thicker foods need low heat and
longer cook times.
• Vegetables take longer to cook than meats at
the same cooking temperatures.
• Always check that the internal temperature
of the meat that you are cooking reaches safe
temperatures to eat.
• The Keep Warm function is not designed to
properly cook your food.
6. WARNING! If the re in the repot goes out
while smoking and there are sufcient pellets
still in the pellet hopper, it is important to
follow these steps. Failure to do so may cause
a hazardous “overring” of your grill due to an
excess of unburned pellets in the repot.
DANGER! Turn the Main Power switch at the
back of the grill to OFF (O) and disconnect the
power cord. Allow the grill to cool thoroughly.
Open the door and remove all food, grill grates,
grease pan, grease drip tray, and heat shield.
WARNING! Remove all unburned pellets and
ash from inside and around the repot. (See
instructions for proper handling and disposal
of ash on page 26.)
Before replacing the heat shield, grease pan,
grease drip tray, and the grill grates, plug
the power cord into an appropriate grounded
electrical outlet and turn the switch ON (I). Pellets
should fall into the repot and the hot rod should
begin to heat (it will start to turn red). CAUTION!
Do not touch the hot rod.
When ames start to come out of the repot, turn
the switch OFF (O). Let the grill cool down. Now
you’re ready to place the heat shields, grease drip
tray, and grill grates back into the grill.
7. CARBON MONOXIDE:
WARNING! Follow these guidelines to prevent
this colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you,
your family, or others.
Know the symptoms of carbon monoxide
poisoning: headaches, dizziness, weakness,
nausea, vomiting, sleepiness, and confusion.
Carbon monoxide reduces the blood’s ability to
carry oxygen. Low blood oxygen levels can result
in loss of consciousness and death.
See a doctor if you or others develop cold- or
u-like symptoms while cooking or in the
vicinity of this appliance. Carbon monoxide
poisoning, which can easily be mistaken for a
cold or u, is often detected too late.
Alcohol consumption and drug use increase the
effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
Carbon monoxide is especially toxic to
mother and child during pregnancy, infants,
the elderly, smokers, and people with blood
or circulatory system problems, such as
anemia or heart disease.

MAINTAINING YOUR GRILL
1. CREOSOTE AND GREASE FORMATION AND
REMOVAL:
When wood pellets are burned slowly, they
produce tar and other organic vapors that
combine with expelled moisture to form creosote.
The creosote vapors condense in the relatively
cool ue exhaust of a slow-burning re. As a
result, creosote accumulates on the ue lining.
When ignited, creosote makes an extremely hot
re. Airborne grease particles will travel through
the cooking chamber, and some of this airborne
grease will accumulate on the ue lining, similar
to creosote, which could be contributory to a re.
Also, grease drippings from the food will fall onto
the grease drip tray, and then into the Traeger
Grease Management System (TGMS). The TGMS
is composed of a (1) grease channel, (2) grease
chute, (3) internal grease trap, and (4) grease pan
with pan liner (see below).
Grease drippings will ow from the grease drip
tray to the grease channel, and then out of the
grill through the grease chute, to be collected in
the grease pan. Grease will accumulate in all of
these locations.
The grease drip tray, the grease channel, and
the grease chute should be inspected every eight
times that you operate your grill for signs of
grease buildup.
When creosote or grease has accumulated, it
should be removed to reduce the risk of re.
Cleaning grease from your grill:
DANGER! Turn the Main Power switch OFF (O)
and disconnect the power cord.
CAUTION! Accumulated grease is easier to
clean off when the grill is still warm—not hot.
Be careful not to burn yourself.
Gloves are recommended.
Periodically clean the grease from the TGMS. If
too much grease is allowed to build up in the
grease channel or is allowed to plug the grease
chute, a grease re could result. We recommend
cleaning these locations regularly.
Remove the grill grates and the grease drip
tray. This will provide access to the grease
channel and grease chute inside the grill.
Scrape the grease accumulation from inside
the grease channel and grease chute using a
stiff, nonmetallic tool. Much of the loosened
grease can be pushed down through the grease
chute and will fall into the grease pan. Wipe up
remaining grease residue with paper towels or
disposable rags. Paper towels or disposable rags
can also be used to wipe some of the grease off
of the interior surfaces of the grill.
The grease pan comes with a preinstalled
5-pack of disposable aluminum liners.
Replacement liner packs are available for
purchase at www.traegergrills.com. Empty the
grease pan as needed; frequency depends on
the amount of use.
8. GREASE MANAGEMENT:
CAUTION! Grease res are caused by not
properly maintaining the grill and failing to clean
the Traeger Grease Management System (TGMS)
on a consistent basis (see MAINTAINING YOUR
GRILL). In the unlikely event of a grease re
while cooking, turn the switch OFF (O) and keep
the door closed until the re is completely out.
Never keep the door open during a grease re.
If the re does not go out, lightly sprinkle baking
soda on the re.
CAUTION! Be careful not to burn yourself. If
this does not work, carefully remove the food
from the grill and keep the door closed until
the re is completely out. Again, be careful not
to burn yourself. When the grill is completely
cool, remove all internal components. Clean any
grease accumulation from the TGMS. Replace
the grease drip tray and grill grates, restart the
grill, and resume cooking.
26
2. CLEANING OUTSIDE SURFACES:
DANGER! Turn the Main Power switch OFF (O)
and disconnect the power cord.
Use a disposable rag or cloth dampened with
warm, soapy water to wipe the grease from the
outside of the grill. DO NOT use oven cleaner,
abrasive cleansers, or abrasive cleaning pads
on the outside grill surfaces.
3. OUTSIDE STORAGE:
CAUTION! If the grill is stored outside during
the rainy season, care should be taken to ensure
that water does not get into the pellet hopper.
Wood pellets expand greatly when wet and will
jam your auger. Always cover your grill when not
in use with the Traeger Grill Cover. This custom-
t cover can be purchased at traegergrills.com.
4. CLEANING THE STAINLESS STEEL GRILL
GRATES:
CAUTION! Cleaning the grill grates works best
while they are still warm. Be careful not to burn
yourself. We recommend keeping a long-handled
cleaning brush near the grill. After removing your
food, give the grill grate a quick brushing. It takes
only a minute and it will be ready the next time
you want to use the grill.
5. CLEANING THE ASH FROM INSIDE AND
AROUND THE FIREPOT:
WARNING! Make sure that the grill is COLD
before cleaning the ash.
WARNING! Disposal of ashes should be done
only according to the following instructions.
Excess ash in the repot may cause your re
to go out. The repot should be inspected
occasionally and cleaned to remove the ash
buildup. Again, cleaning the ash from in and
around the repot should be done only when
the grill is COLD.
Remove the grill grates, grease drip tray, and
heat shield to provide access to the repot and
the interior of the grill. Much of the ash outside
of the repot can be removed from the grill with a
small metal replace shovel or other similar tool.
WARNING! A vacuum cleaner is the best way to
remove ashes from the repot, but this must be
done with extreme care to avoid the risk of re.
Again, cleaning the ash from the repot should
be done only when the grill is COLD.
A utility-type vacuum cleaner having a metal
collection canister without a bag would be best
for this task. However, almost any vacuum
cleaner will work safely if this procedure is
properly followed.
After ensuring that the ash in the repot is
COLD, vacuum the ash from the inside of
the repot.
a. If your vacuum cleaner is a bagless
model, empty any previously accumulated
debris from the collection chamber. Then
vacuum the ash from the inside of the
repot. Once the repot is clean, empty the
collection chamber into the metal container
described below without delay. Make sure
that there is no remaining ash residue left
in the collection chamber.
b. If your vacuum cleaner is a model that
uses a disposable bag, install an unused
bag in the machine. Then vacuum the ash
from the inside of the repot. Once the
repot is clean, remove the bag from the
vacuum cleaner and place it in the metal
container described below without delay.
6. DISPOSAL OF ASHES:
WARNING! Ashes should be placed in a metal
container with a tight-tting lid. The closed
container of ashes should be placed on a
noncombustible oor or on the ground, well
away from all combustible materials, pending
nal disposal. When the ashes are disposed of by
burial in soil or otherwise locally dispersed, they
should be retained in the closed container until
all cinders have cooled thoroughly.
7. CLEANING THE CUTTING BOARD:
Always thoroughly wash the cutting board
after use.
To wash:
1. Hand wash only in warm, soapy water.
DO NOT SOAK.
2. Rinse with clean water.
3. Air dry.
IMPORTANT: Soaking the wooden cutting board
in water or washing it in the dishwasher can
damage the board.
NOTE: Avoid overexposure to sunlight to
prevent warping.
