The good news: A Traeger grill works from its own controller, so you can always cook even without the app.
The bad news: Traeger has been losing money, and app features like remote temperature changes depend on its cloud.
If you own Traeger
- Learn the grill’s own controls, so you are not dependent on the app.
- Keep the grill’s firmware updated through the app.
