Our take on the Traeger Tailgater 20 Pellet Grill

The Traeger Tailgater 20 is a portable wood-pellet grill built for tailgates, campsites and small patios. It runs on Traeger's pellet-feed system with an electric auger and fan, so you set a temperature and it holds it, giving wood-fired smoke flavor without charcoal or gas. Its folding legs and compact barrel make it easier to haul than a full-size Traeger, but it has less cooking area and fewer features than the Pro Series. Owners like the smoke flavor and portability; common complaints center on temperature swings, the small hopper and build quality.

Questions and answers

Is the Tailgater 20 good for beginners?
Yes. The digital controller and pellet feed make it close to set-and-forget compared with charcoal. Expect to learn how your unit holds temperature before long cooks.
How does it compare with a full-size Traeger?
It is smaller, lighter and folds for transport, but it has less cooking area and a smaller hopper than the Pro Series. Choose it for portability, not for large gatherings.
Can it sear steaks?
It grills and smokes, but it tops out below the high heat of a gas or charcoal grill. For a hard sear, finish steaks on another grill or in a cast-iron pan.
What pellets does it use?
It uses standard Traeger-style wood pellets in the hopper. Keep pellets dry, since damp pellets jam the auger.
How long can it run on one hopper?
Long enough for a few hours of smoking, but not an overnight brisket without refilling. Plan to top up the hopper on long cooks.
Does it need electricity?
Yes. The auger and fan run on household power, so you need an outlet or a suitable power source at the campsite.
