Originally an air force engineer serving on harrier jump jet squadrons – Sam Wanstall had a dramatic change of career in August 2020 to land his dream job as Traeger’s top Grill-master and chef.

Here he talks with passion about what makes a Traeger grill so special.

What makes Traeger grills stand out from the rest? 

My passion for Traeger stems from the fact that they are the original inventor of the wood pellet barbecue and by constantly investing in technology, they continue to be the benchmark in the wood pellet category. 

Why is wood pellet grilling so good? 

Wood pellets grills really bring the best of both worlds to your garden, delivering great flavour and consistent fuss-free cooking. The easy temperate control makes cooking up a feast so easy and the wood pellets give your food a flavour your whole family will love.

What can you cook on a Traeger? 

Pretty much anything you desire - the grills are super versatile with a temperature range of 75c to 260c if you can cook it your oven, you can cook it on a Traeger!

What can visitors see from Traeger at Glee this year? 

Expect to get a very warm welcome on the stand, enjoy the fun easy-going atmosphere, have a beer and enjoy some smoked party mix fresh off the grills.  The Traeger team will have the complete Traeger line up on demonstrate along with all our accessories, sauces, and seasons.
