Traeger grills and smokers are very popular cookers in outdoor settings like camping, fishing, and hunting, whether on the tailgate or at the campsite<\/strong>. But, can you put a Traeger in an outdoor kitchen, and how would you do it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, you certainly can put a Traeger in an outdoor kitchen, but you need to install it safely and safely and with proper airflow. You also need to provide enough ceiling clearance from the grill to avoid damage from the smoke and ensure your fuel is safely stored.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traeger Safety Considerations For An Outdoor Kitchen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Whether you choose a permanent or portable installation, fundamental safety concerns must be addressed before you consider putting a Traeger in an outdoor kitchen; the first of those is the airflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Airflow is critical when using a grill or smoker indoors <\/strong>as it is essential for the cooker itself and ensures that smoke and other toxic fumes don’t affect people or animals in the vicinity. Having proper airflow will also ensure that your ceiling doesn’t get damaged by the smoke from the Traeger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another essential consideration that would need to be factored into the design is that there are no combustible materials within at least three feet of the cooker, which is applicable regardless of whether the cooker is installed permanently.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, you need to consider your storage for both the fuel and the cooker. Like most other cookers, Traegers must be stored undercover and protected from the elements, or they are at risk of corrosion.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So you would need a dedicated cover or storage space or protective cover in your outdoor kitchen if the unit is installed or an undercover area like a shed or garage where you can store the Traeger once you have finished using it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If your Traeger is a permanent fixture, then your gas would be securely installed away from the cooker and fed via a gas line. If you are using a portable cylinder, make sure you have a secure space to position your fuel while cooking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putting A Traeger In An Outdoor Kitchen – Portable Or Permanent<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Traeger grills and smokers are mostly portable and have legs and wheels so they can be moved around as needed, and while they are quite heavy, they certainly can be installed as permanent fixtures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This poses a question for the outdoor kitchen: whether you allocate a space in the design for the Traeger and move it in and out as you want, or do you create a tabletop or countertop space and mount it permanently?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Portable Option For Your Traeger In An Outdoor Kitchen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you only have one cooker and it needs to be portable, then you would have to create a space for it in your outdoor kitchen, which is best done in the design phase, and you need to consider the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
