Before you can get started smoking up some amazingly tasty food, you will need to prime the grease trap.
The grease trap on your Traeger Timberline Grill acts as a barrier to redirect the cold smoke up towards the
heat shield/chimney. In order for it to work correctly, follow these easy steps:
NOTE: As you use your grill, the water
in the grease trap will slowly be replaced
by grease from the drip tray. If you see
smoke coming out of the bottom of the
grill, you will need to add more water
to the trap to replace what’s evaporated
during the cooking process.
PRIMING THE GREASE TRAP
1
Remove all grill grates, grease drip
tray, and heat shields.
2
Remove black cap from grease trap.
Add about a cup of water (or flax seed
oil, if desired) to the trap. Replace cap.

While the grill grates, grease drip tray,
and heat shields are out of the grill, this
is a good time to prime the auger. Go
to "Seasoning Your Grill" and follow the
easy steps there to get Traeger’ing.
