In the early 80s Joe Traeger and Jerry Whitfield started working on a pellet style grill based on the pellet technology being used in Europe at the time. By 1985 Joe Traeger had introduced the country to the first Traeger branded pellet grill and in 1986 had patented the design making his company the only company to produce pellet grills for twenty years during that period. That pellet grill design made Traeger the pioneer of the industry by introducing precise simplified temperature control and streamlining the grilling and cleanup process with the concept of wood pellets for grill fuel. Nobody does a quality pellet grill quite like Traeger Grills. At Ace Palm Harbor, we stock their line of accessories, including their seasonings and rubs, pellets, drip trays: you name it.
