Key Features
- Digital Elite controller keeps the preset temperature in 5-degree increments for reliable cooking
- The simple grease drain management system draws all of your excess liquids into a bucket underneath
- EZ-Fold legs fold up and let you wheel the grill onto your tailgate for game day
- Features a Keep Warm Mode that ensures the food will still be hot coming off the grill
- Large capacity hopper allows you to hold up to 8 lbs of pellets at once
The Tailgater by Traeger offers the convenience and rich flavor of a wood burning pellet grill in a more compact size. With a smaller footprint and legs that fold flat, the Tailgater black 20-inch pellet grill is perfect for apartment balconies, tailgating, or anywhere else you want to bring the wood-fired flavor. This grill is constructed of a powder coated steel, and boasts 19,500 BTUs of cooking power. The 300 square inches of porcelain coated grilling surface produces excellent sear marks, while being easy to clean. Features EZ-Fold legs that offer maximum portability, letting you quickly place the grill in the bed of your truck, the back of your SUV, or the trunk of your car and be on your way. The versatility of this pellet grill allows you to smoke at temperatures as low as 180 degrees and then crank it up to 450 degrees to sear to perfection. The Digital Arc Controller displays the temperature inside the grill on the bright orange LED panel and is monitored by a resistance temperature detector probe which keeps the preset temperature in 5-degree increments. Keep Warm Mode maintains the hot temperature of the food for when it comes off the grill. Traeger grills feature an auto-start system that is simple and safe to use. The natural airflow inside of the grill allows for convection cooking, so you can bake a pizza right on your grill or slow smoke a large brisket. Turning and flipping different kinds of meat will be necessary at high temperatures. When you turn on the grill, the auger begins to feed pellets into the firepot while the draft induction fan feeds air into it. The igniter rod is activated and glows red hot for the first four minutes to ignite the pellets in the firepot. These cost-effective pellets burn at a rate of only 2 lbs per hour on high heat, 1 lb per hour on medium heat, and only 1/2 lb per hour when smoking.

Dean Striler Fort Scott KS Verified Purchaser ![]() | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Holds Temp I have read some reviews it says it doesn't hold temperature I am not experiencing that same thing. I have a brisket in right now set the temperature at 215 and it has been holding plus or minus 2Degrees. 3rd time using it and its held true every time. Love it | Was This Helpful? |
Will Rohl Cumberland WI Verified Purchaser ![]() | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ #1 portable grill? I have had this grill for about 8 months now. I have owned a wide variety in pellet grills. I have two Scouts, which I struggled to maintain a temp with. If I just went to use those for grilling and baking, it would be fine but smoking I couldn't keep a good temp in colder outdoor temps However, this is a review on the tailgater, and for the price and portability there IS NOT a better grill than this one. I can set this on smoke while I am out hunting, or just simply away from the grill for 6 plus hours. You dont EVER have to worry about temperature fluctuations with this grill. Just set the temp, walk away and come home to 5 star food. I have BAKED anything from cinnamon rolls, corn bread, cakes, to smoking anything from fish, to wild wild game, beef, bison ect.. If you are going to read any reviews, dont let ANY negative reviews push you away.
Like i said, this is the 5th pellet grill that I have added to my collection. I have a pit boss, 2 scouts, Pro Series 34, Pro Series 22.
My father is a huge Bradley vertical smoker fan, I let him barrow this grill for the day to do a brisket. He had nothing but POSITIVE things to say about this.
If I could change anything on this grill, my only improvement would be to make the hopper a little steeper to help with the occasional bridging in pellets, and adding a pellet drop out door for ease of changing pellets. I will say, I have NEVER in four years needed to order a single part of my Traegers. After cooking with mine, three of my family members went out and purchased them as well.
BUT, for the price point this grill is, you cannot expect everything to be the way you want it!

Vi Lake Elsinore, CA | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Great product We have had this smoker for about 2 years and have enjoyed every minute of it. Our thermostat has recently gone out, but I called the help line and they are having the new part shipped out right away. 5 stars for customer service too!!! | Was This Helpful? |
ChrismanCreek Crestview FL ![]() | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Great grill The legs could be stronger. But a great compact grill for loading into a camper. | Was This Helpful? |
Roger F Undisclosed ![]() | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Great Grill Great grill, enjoy taking it camping. Just the right size. | Was This Helpful? |
Bigdaddybozo Chino Hils Ca ![]() | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ My Smoker Perfect size and the quality. Everything comes out perfect | Was This Helpful? |
Huggy30 Georgia ![]() | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Awesome!! Love it! Easy to haul around and still cooks a lot of food to be a tailgating version. Most of all you get the same great Traeger taste on the road! | Was This Helpful? |
Ken Manship Nampa, ID ![]() | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ The Perfect Camping Smoker I was Looking For This smoker/grill is exactly what I was looking for. It's the right size for one person, and the portability is perfect. I can run this off my Goal Zero Yeti 400 Lithium Ion battery and my Boulder 100 solar panels and get more from the sun than the Traeger draws at 250 degrees. Everything I have cooked has been delicious. Ribs, pork roast, salmon, and whole chickens have come out great. Additionally, the digital arc controller works great and the included meat thermometer has been accurate and dependable. I am very happy with this purchase and hope this smoker/grill lasts me for a long time! | Was This Helpful? |
Carrie Utah ![]() | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Overall great product I love my tailgater size grilled. I use it every weekend for meal prepping. Also smoked a pork butt for 10 hours on it and it was amazing! With the smaller sized hopper you do have to watch how many pellets you are using. It works perfect for my small apartment balcony. It easily feeds four. It's lightweight and portable, but still feels very durable. Would recommend to anyone looking for a small grill. | Was This Helpful? |
Anonymous 1 WY Verified Purchaser ![]() | ★★★★★ ★★★★★ Had this for 5 years now, still works like new I use my Traeger 2 to 3 days a week and every weekend: rain, snow or shine... Even in Sub-Zero temps. I have had only 1 flame-out in those 5 years (1st time used it, didn't let it preheat long enough). I'd buy another if this one ever dies after rebuilding the replaceable parts that wear out a few times. | Was This Helpful? |

Question: What the inches of width & length of grate not the whole grill itself ??? Was This Helpful? |
Question: I'm considering a purchase of the tailgater. If I want to grill hamburgers but prefer not to have smoke, how would I accomplish that? Was This Helpful? Answer: Hi, thanks for asking. There is no way to avoid having smoke while using a pellet grill, some level of smoke will be generated from the wood burning and the grease dripping. If you have any other questions please message us on Live Chat or call 877-743-2269 and we'll be happy to help. Asked by GMCAnswered by Hunter |
Question: What are the power requirements? I can't find them in the downloaded manual, description or specs. The best I cam come up with is it is AC. I would like to know the watt and amp requirements both start-up and running. Was This Helpful? |
Question: How many burgers could I cook at one time on this model, I'm interested in purchasing this model. Was This Helpful? Answer: Hi Jeremy! This Traeger can hold 12 burgers. If you would like to know more about how we calculate this, here is a link to a video: youtu.be/CjXL6p6N3as Asked by JeremyAnswered by Tiffany |
Question: Does the hopper come off easily (if you wanted to store it during the winter, for example)? Was This Helpful? Answer: Hi, and thanks for asking. The hopper has to be screwed in from the inside of the grill in a number of spots, and a cover is placed over the box where the smoke is released in to the grill that would need to be removed as well. Other than that, the hopper just slides right in and out. Asked by mgAnswered by Hunter |
Question: can you use this grill to smoke salmon? I do not see a smoke setting on this tailgater (TFB30KLF) like the older model tailgaters had. Was This Helpful? |
