• 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. 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.
• Only use your Traeger grill 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 ofcials
about restrictions and installation inspection requirements in your area.
Cooking with a hardwood re brings years of enjoyment – to you and your lucky friends and family. 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, your
pets, 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.

WARNING!
Smoke Hazard
A pellet overow condition can occur during start-up,
resulting in unusually thick, white smoke that lasts a
long time. If this occurs, power down your grill with
the Main Power switch and unplug. If this condition
continues long enough, gases can build up from partial
ignition and fully ignite, causing the lid to “burp.” If
this burp occurs and your grill has not been properly
maintained as described in “Maintaining Your Grill” on
pages 25-26, a grease re could result. To remedy this
condition, let the grill cool down completely, remove all
internal components, and thoroughly clean all ash and
pellets from the grill and repot (see page 26, “Cleaning
the Ash from Inside and Around the Firepot”).
WARNING!
Burn Hazard
Many parts of the grill will become very hot during
operation. Care must be taken to avoid burns, both
during operation and afterwards, while the grill is still hot.
• Never leave the grill unattended when young
children are present.
• Never move the grill when it is operating.
• Let the grill cool thoroughly before moving or
attempting to transport.
WARNING!
Fire Hazard
• When operating this grill, maintain a MINIMUM
distance of 18 inches (45.7 cm) from the grill to
combustibles.
• When operating this grill under overhead
combustibles, a MINIMUM of 40 inches (102 cm)
is required.
WARNING!
Air Contaminant Hazard
• Assemble and operate this grill ONLY per the instructions
in the Assembly Guide and the Owner’s Manual.
• This grill is intended for OUTDOOR USE ONLY.
• Never use heating fuel pellets in the grill, due to
potential hazardous contaminants and additives
that may be present.
CAUTION!
• Always store wood pellets in a dry location, away
from heat-producing appliances and other fuel
containers.
• Keep the grill clean. See the cleaning instructions
in this Owner’s Manual.
• Do not use accessories not specied for use with this grill.
• For best results and avor, use genuine
TRAEGER
®
BRAND HARDWOOD PELLETS.
• Even if there is ample room in the grill, be cautious of
loading excessive amounts of food that can release
large quantities of ammable grease, for example
more than a pound of bacon, especially if the grill
has not been well-maintained. If your previous cooks
have produced large quantities of ammable grease,
it is highly recommended that the grease be cleaned
from the grill before using it again.
For Consumers in the European Union:
• This appliance is not intended for use by persons
(including children) with reduced physical, sensory,
or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and
knowledge, unless they have been given supervision
or instruction concerning use of the appliance by a
person responsible for their safety.

WARNING! Keep your grill clean. See "Operating

A 20-lb. (9.1 kg) capacity pellet hopper will keep you
cooking for hours, getting you away from the grill and
back to the things you want to do.
Traeger’s signature barrel shape creates a vortex
of convection. It circulates hot, smoky air around the
cooking chamber, surrounding your food with wood-fired
heat for even cooking on all sides.
With 650-885 in.

(0.42-0.57 m

) of grilling space, your
Traeger grill has the real estate for party-sized orders of
T-bones or racks of ribs, with enough room lef over to
handle those side dishes, too.
With the Traeger® Ironwood Grill, controlling your grill
is as easy as pulling out your phone. The WiFIRE®
Technology allows you to set and adjust temperatures
automatically with recipes downloaded from our Traeger
App. To download the app for Android, go to the Google
Play Store; for Apple, go to the App Store. For information
on how to use the app, go to traegergrills.com/wifire.
See “Connecting Your Grill” section on next page for
instructions on how to connect to Wi-Fi.
An adjustable 2-tier grate system oers options to load
up both grill grates for a true feast; remove the top grate
for taller food like a colossal turkey, or lower the bottom
grate into a sear position for perfect grill marks.
You don’t have to worry about drippings flaring up and
causing nasty fireballs that destroy your meal, because
Traeger Wood Fired Grills cook using indirect heat. All
drippings are safely channeled into an external grease
bucket for easy disposal.

VERSATILE LOWER GRATE
RACK STOPS
GRILL COVER
You can change the placement of the bottom grill grate for two
dierent 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 the bottom grate,
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 flip burgers or baste ribs easily without the rack
tipping.
You wouldn't stand out in the rain or snow without protection – well, unless that's your thing. Protect your Traeger®
Ironwood Grill with a premium custom cover, designed to withstand the elements. This durable grill cover is available for
purchase at traegergrills.com.
KEEP WARM FUNCTION
Keep Warm can be used to pause the cook cycle at any time
during grilling and maintain the grill temperature at 165°F (74°C).
Press the KEEP WARM button to activate the function. Press

TRAEGERGRILLS.COM
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 exhaust vent of a slow-
burning fire. As a result, creosote accumulates on the
exhaust vent lining. When ignited, creosote makes
an extremely hot fire. Airborne grease particles will
travel through the cooking chamber, and some of this
airborne grease will accumulate on the exhaust vent
lining, similar to creosote, which could contribute to
a fire.
The Traeger Downdraf Exhaust should be inspected at
least twice a year to determine when a creosote and/or
grease buildup has occurred.
Also, grease drippings from the food will fall onto
the grease drip tray and be channeled into the grease
drain and then out of the grill through the grease drain
tube, to be collected in the grease bucket. These are
the components of the Traeger Grease Management
System (TGMS). Grease will accumulate in all of these
locations.
All components of the TGMS should be inspected
before each use for signs of grease buildup.
When creosote or grease has accumulated, it should
be removed to reduce the risk of fire.
Even if there is ample room in the grill, be cautious of
loading excessive amounts of food that can release
large quantities of flammable grease, for example more
than a pound of bacon, especially if the grill has not
been well-maintained. If your previous cooks have
produced large quantities of flammable grease, it is
highly recommended that the grease be cleaned from
the grill before using it again.
2. CLEANING INSIDE SURFACES:
DANGER! Turn the switch OFF (O) and disconnect the
power cord.
CAUTION! Accumulated grease is easier to clean o
when the grill is still warm—not hot. Be careful not to
burn yourself. Gloves are recommended.
Periodically clean the grease out of the V-shaped
grease drain and grease drain tube. If too much grease
is allowed to build up in the V-shaped grease drain or
is allowed to plug the grease drain tube, a grease fire
could result. We recommend cleaning these locations
regularly.
Remove all grates and the grease drip tray. This will
provide access to the V-shaped grease drain and
grease drain tube opening inside the grill. Scrape the
grease accumulation from inside the V-shaped grease
drain and grease drain tube using a sti, nonmetallic
tool. Much of the loosened grease can be pushed
down through the grease drain tube and will fall into
the grease bucket. 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 o of the interior surfaces of the grill.
3. 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.
4. 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-fit cover can be
purchased at traegergrills.com.
5. CLEANING THE 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. Afer 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.

6. CLEANING THE ASH FROM INSIDE AND AROUND
THE FIREPOT (EVERY 20 HOURS OF USE):
DANGER! Turn the Main Power switch OFF (O) and
disconnect the power cord.
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 firepot may cause your fire to go
out. The firepot should be inspected occasionally and
cleaned to remove the ash buildup. Again, cleaning the
ash from in and around the firepot should be done only
when the grill is COLD.
Remove the grill grates, grease drip tray, and heat
bae to provide access to the firepot and the interior
of the grill. Much of the ash outside of the firepot can
be removed from the grill with a small metal fireplace
shovel or other similar tool.
WARNING! A dedicated vacuum cleaner is the best
way to remove ashes from the firepot, but this must be
done with extreme care to avoid the risk of fire. Again,
cleaning the ash from the firepot 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.
Afer ensuring that the ash in the firepot is COLD,
vacuum the ash from the inside of the firepot.
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 firepot. Once the firepot is clean, empty
the collection chamber into the metal container
described below without delay. Make sure that there
is no remaining ash residue lef 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 firepot. Once the firepot is clean, remove the bag
from the vacuum cleaner and place it in the metal
container described below without delay.
7. DISPOSAL OF ASHES:
WARNING! Ashes should be placed in a metal container
with a tight-fitting lid. The closed container of ashes
should be placed on a noncombustible floor or on
the ground, well away from all combustible materials,
pending final 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.
8. If the supply cord is damaged, It must be replaced by a
special cord assembly available from the manufacturer
or its service agent.

Following are frequently asked questions along with their answers:
QUESTION ANSWER
Why won’t
my grill
ignite?
Verify power at the electrical outlet. If the power cord is connected to a GFCI (ground fault circuit
interrupter), check and reset if necessary. Initiate start-up. If no ignition, see next answer.
DANGER! Turn the switch OFF (O) and disconnect the power cord. Remove the control and check the fuse
on back. Replace the fuse if blown. Reinstall the control.
Check the draf inducer fan and the auger drive motor for operation. If both are operating, the hot rod needs
to be replaced. If one or both are not operating, contact Traeger's VIP-365 Customer Service (see page 35)
for additional troubleshooting help or to place an order.
Verify that there are pellets in the pellet hopper. If this is the initial firing or the grill has run out of pellets,
allow sucient time for the pellets to travel from the pellet hopper to the firepot (can take up to 7 minutes).
Initiate start-up. See “Using Your Grill” on page 13. If there are still no pellets in the firepot, proceed to next
answer.
If the auger drive motor is operating (check the small fan blade on the back of the motor), the problem
is in the digital control, which will need to be replaced. Contact your Traeger dealer or Traeger's VIP-365
Customer Service (see page 35) to place an order.
Why are
no pellets
being
delivered
into the
firepot?
If the auger drive motor is not operating but the draf inducer fan is operating, the problem is in the auger
system, which will need to be checked:
With the switch OFF (O), locate the small fan blade on the back of the auger drive motor.
CAUTION! While watching the fan blade, turn the switch ON (I). If the fan blade does not turn, turn the
switch OFF (O). This indicates a defective auger drive motor, and it will need to be replaced. Contact your
Traeger dealer or Traeger's VIP-365 Customer Service (see page 35) to place an order.
If the fan blade turns a bit and then stops, continue watching and turn the switch OFF (O). If the fan blade
unwinds slightly, this indicates a jam in the auger system, which will need to be cleared.
DANGER! Turn the switch OFF (O) and disconnect the power cord. Remove the pellets from the pellet
hopper. Check for foreign objects and wet or decomposed pellets, both of which can cause a jam in the
auger system. The auger will need to be removed to clear a jam in the auger system. See “How do I remove
the auger if it jams?” section on the following page.
Why is the
temperature
of my grill
fluctuating?
Temperature fluctuations are normal for Traeger grills. Any significant fluctuation could be the result of
wind, air temperature, improper use, or lack of grill maintenance

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (CONTINUED)
QUESTION ANSWER
How do I
remove the
auger if it
jams?
DANGER! Turn the switch OFF (O) and disconnect the power cord.
CAUTION! If the grill is still hot, allow it to cool thoroughly.
Remove any covers necessary to access the auger drive motor.
Remove the screw connecting the auger drive motor shaf to the auger shaf and the screw retaining the
auger bushing into the auger tube.
With a small pipe wrench or locking pliers on the auger shaf, turn the auger counterclockwise. It will turn
hard until it breaks free; then the auger will turn freely.
Remove the auger and clean all pellets, ash, or foreign objects from the auger, auger tube, and firepot.
(See instructions for proper handling and disposal of ash on page 26.)
Sand the outside surfaces of the auger with medium grit sandpaper. Check the inside of the auger tube
and sand it if needed. Vacuum the sanding grit out of the auger tube and firepot when finished. Check
that the auger rotates freely.
Reattach the auger shaf to the auger drive motor shaf.
How do I
protect my
paint finish?
Use a protective cover on the grill to protect your paint finish. A Traeger grill cover is highly recommended.
Covers are available from your Traeger dealer, or log onto our website, traegergrills.com.
Every 90 days, use a high-quality car wax on the outside surfaces of the grill. ONLY APPLY WAX TO A
COLD GRILL.
Where can I
get a new part
for my grill?
Check with your Traeger dealer. They may have the part in stock or can order the part for you.
Contact Traeger's VIP-365 Customer Service (see page 35) to place an order.

This error occurs if the controller does not detect the fan. Make sure the fan is plugged
in and restart your grill. If the problem persists, you may need to replace your fan or
call customer service.
Auger Disconnected
This error occurs when the controller does not detect the auger motor. Check to see
if the motor is plugged in and restart your grill. If the issue persists, replace your auger
motor or call customer service.
Auger Overcurrent
This error occurs if the auger motor is damaged or jammed. Use the Clear Auger
feature inside the control menu and restart your grill. If the problem continues, you
may need to replace your auger motor or call customer service.
Low Temp Warning
This warning will occur if the grill has lost its fire and failed to recover. Check the
pellets and restart the grill.
Ignition Warning (App
Notification Only)
This warning will occur if the grill has not detected a successful ignition in the expected
time. Check the pellets and restart the grill.
Low Ambient Temp
This warning will occur when the ambient temperature falls below -20°F (-29°C)
for more than 30 seconds. Although the controller will still work, damage to the
controller’s display may have occurred. If the grill ignites, check to see if the display
operates as expected. If the grill does not ignite, warm the grill and check to see if the
display and controller operate as expected. If not, call customer service.
Probe Fell Out
This warning will occur if the probe is not fully inserted into the food. The message is
triggered when the probe is above 220°F (104°C) while the grill is running. Fully insert
the probe into the food.
Bad Probe
This warning will occur if the controller detects a short circuit in the probe for
10 seconds. The probe will need to be replaced. To order a new probe, go to
traegergrills.com.
ERROR CLEARING
Errors are cleared with the Menu - Settings - Clear Notications menu item. Since each error will send the grill into a
cooldown, if an error is cleared while the grill is cooling down, the main screen will display “Cooling Down . . .” until the
cooldown is complete. Note that some errors, like Temp Sensor Out, will trigger again even afer clearing them. This is a
sign that the conditions that caused the error have not changed. Power-cycling the grill will also clear any errors, as many
users are accustomed to.

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:
Select Temperature Units from the Settings menu.
Turn the dial to choose between degrees FAHRENHEIT
(°F) and CELSIUS (°C). Press the center of the dial to
confirm. The selected setting will be indicated with a *.
2. You will now see temperatures displayed in the format
you’ve chosen.
3. WARNING! Your Traeger® Ironwood Grill should never
be moved while it is hot. If you are transporting your
grill in a vehicle afer cooking on it, make sure the fire
is completely out and the grill is cold before placing it
in any vehicle. Never put water into the firepot; it will
jam the auger.
4. Your Traeger® Ironwood Grill is designed to operate
with the door closed. Cooking with the door open
greatly lengthens your cooking time.
5. CAUTION! Never add pellets by hand to a hot firepot.
This is dangerous and you may be seriously burned. If
you run out of pellets and lose your fire while cooking,
let the grill cool completely and start again with the
“Hopper Clean-out" instructions on page 22.
6. CAUTION! Make sure the heat bae is properly seated
on its locating brackets. If not seated properly, direct
heat and flame could come up out of the firepot and
cause a grease fire in the grill.
7. 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.
8. WARNING! If the fire in the firepot goes out while
smoking and there are sucient pellets still in the
pellet hopper, it is important to follow these steps.
Failure to do so may cause a hazardous “overfiring”
of your grill due to an excess of unburned pellets
in the firepot.
• 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 drip tray, and heat
bae.
• WARNING! Smoke Hazard
A pellet overflow condition can occur during start-
up, resulting in unusually thick, white smoke that
lasts a long time. If this occurs, power down your
grill with the Main Power switch and unplug. If this
condition continues long enough, gases can build
up from partial ignition and fully ignite, causing
the lid to “burp.” If this burp occurs and your grill
has not been properly maintained as described in
“Maintaining Your Grill” on pages 25-26, a grease
fire could result. To remedy this condition, let the
grill cool down completely, remove all internal
components, and thoroughly clean all ash and
pellets from the grill and firepot (see page 26,
“Cleaning the Ash from Inside and Around the
Firepot”).
• WARNING! Remove all unburned pellets and ash from
inside and around the firepot. (See instructions for
proper handling and disposal of ash on page 26.)
• Before replacing the heat bae, grease drip tray,
and the grill grates, plug the power cord into an
appropriate grounded/earthed electrical outlet and
turn the switch ON (I). Pellets should fall into the
firepot and the hot rod should begin to heat (it will
start to turn red). CAUTION! Do not touch the hot rod.
• When flames start to come out of the firepot, turn the
switch OFF (O). Let the grill cool down. Now you’re
ready to place the heat bae, grease drip tray, grill
grates, and food back into the grill.

9. CARBON MONOXIDE:
WARNING! Follow these guidelines to prevent this
colorless, odorless gas from poisoning you, your family,
your pets, 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
flu-like symptoms while cooking or in the vicinity of
this appliance. Carbon monoxide poisoning, which can
easily be mistaken for a cold or flu, is ofen 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.
10. GREASE MANAGEMENT:
CAUTION! Grease fires are caused by improper
maintenance of 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 fire while cooking, turn the grill o
and keep the door closed until the fire is completely
out. Never keep the door open during a grease fire.
If the fire does not go out, lightly sprinkle baking soda
on the fire.
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 fire 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.
