Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Traeger Grills has recalled approximately 16,100 Scout and Ranger portable wood pellet grills because grease can leak from the drip tray, which can lead to fires. There have been six reports of grease fires occurring during use, though no injuries have been reported. These black-metal grills were sold at Costco, Ace Hardware, and other stores nationwide and online from March 2018 through July 2018 for between $300 and $400. Consumers should immediately stop using these grills and contact Traeger Grills for a free replacement grill, a replacement drip tray, or a full refund.

Risk

Grease can leak from the internal drip tray and accumulate in areas not designed for high heat, causing a fire to break out inside or under the unit. Six grease fires have been reported to the company.

What You Should Do

  1. Identify your grill: Look for a black-metal rectangular portable grill marked with 'Traeger' on the lid. The Scout model has mountain imagery on the lid, a curved silver handle, and a temperature dial. The Ranger model has a straight silver handle and a push-button touchpad.
  2. Check the dimensions and weight: These units are about 21 inches long, 20 inches wide, and 13 inches high. The Scout weighs about 45 pounds, while the Ranger weighs about 60 pounds.
  3. Stop using the recalled grill immediately to prevent a fire hazard.
  4. Contact Traeger Grills to choose your preferred remedy: a free replacement grill, a free replacement drip tray to repair the unit, or a full refund.
