  1. Hurt, no treatment

    Made Nov 26, 2017, sent to the company Dec 4, 2017, published by CPSC Dec 18, 2017

    The product, in the report: Traeger grill sold at Costco and other retailers. This is the smaller one selling for $459

    We use our grill frequently and have used other smoker style grills. This traeger catches on fire extremely easily. We always have the grill cleaned and only use the appropriate pellets. While cooking the temp suddenly rises and then the inside of the grill is on fire and billowing black smoke. I have read many reports of this happening to others as well. It is something with this specific brand/model that makes it more prone to catching on fire.
