What You Will Need
You will need a few things to connect your Traeger Grill to Wi-Fi. First, you need a strong Wi-Fi signal where you will use your grill. Signal strength between -30dbm and -70dbm is needed to connect to the Wi-Fi network. Secondly, you will need the Traeger Grill app, which is available for both Android and iOS devices. Finally, you will need an Amazon Alexa device, as the Traeger Grill can also be connected to Amazon Alexa. Once you have all of these items in place, it’s time to connect your Traeger Grill to Wi-Fi.
Setting Up Your Wi-Fi Grill
Getting your Traeger Grill connected to a Wi-Fi network is a relatively straightforward process. First, make sure your Traeger Grill is powered on and ready to go. Then, look for the Wi-Fi symbol on the digital display. If you don’t see it, press the Wi-Fi button. This will activate the Wi-Fi connection and allow you to pair your grill with your home’s Wi-Fi network.
After your grill is connected, you’ll want to make sure that it is securely connected to your home’s network. You can do this by checking the signal strength of the connection in the display of the Traeger app. The signal strength should be at least 75%. If it isn’t, try moving the grill closer to your router or boosting the signal with a repeater or booster. Once you have a strong connection, you can download and set up the Traeger app.
Connecting to Your Home Network
Once you have all the necessary components for your Traeger Grill, it’s time to get it connected to your home network. To do this, you’ll need to access the Wi-Fi settings on your Traeger Grill. You can find this in the main menu of your Traeger Grill.
Once you’ve accessed the Wi-Fi settings, you’ll need to select the network that you want your grill to connect to. This should be the same network that your Amazon Alexa devices are connected to. Once you’ve selected the network, enter the password and press the “connect” button. You should see a confirmation message on the screen if the connection is successful.
After you’ve connected your Traeger Grill to your home network, you can download the Traeger app and begin using it to control and manage your grill. The app is available on both iOS and Android devices and is easy to set up. Once you’ve created an account, you can select your grill from the list of available devices and begin adjusting temperature settings, scheduling grilling times, and more.

The smoke setting can be adjusted in 5°F increments as well.
The Traeger app also allows you to adjust the grill levels, which is useful when you want to cook different types of food at different temperatures. For example, if you are cooking steak at 500°F and vegetables at 350°F, you can easily adjust each one separately with the app. This feature is especially helpful when grilling with multiple people, as each person can have their own settings.
Scheduling Your Grilling Times with the App

The app will allow you to set the desired temperature, adjust the smoke level, and even set a timer for when to start grilling.

Tips for Optimizing the Performance of Your Smart Grill
Whether you’re a grilling enthusiast or a beginner, ensuring your Traeger Grill runs efficiently and safely can make your grilling experience more enjoyable. Here are some tips to optimize the performance of your smart grill:
- Clean your grill regularly. This will help prevent the buildup of grease and debris and ensure that all of the components are working properly.
- Check the condition of the pellets. Pellets, especially if they have been stored in humid conditions, can clump together and cause problems with the pellet-burner system.
- Make sure the grease trap is clean to avoid flare-ups. Grease fires can be dangerous and should be avoided at all costs.
- Use weather-resistant covers to protect your Traeger Grill from rain and other elements when not in use. This will ensure that all parts remain in good condition and extend the life of your Traeger Grill.
- Make sure that the temperature probe is properly connected to the control panel for accurate readings.
- Check the fan blades to make sure they are free from debris and rotating properly.
Following these tips can help you get the most out of your Traeger Grill and ensure you can enjoy delicious grilled meals for years to come!
