We tested the Traeger Ranger and were surprised to discover this...

[@JKSDAD]

This grill literally does it all. I've cooked sausage, eggs, hashbrowns and pancakes on the cast iron. Reverse seared different cuts of steak, ahi, etc. Smoked ribs, vegtables and of course, burgers and dogs. The built in meat probe is also nice. Side note for campers: Bluetti EB55 easily powers the Ranger.

[@MaddieandKiki]

Oooo great tip about the generator, GK!! And you sound like our kinda Griller, all of those foods sound incredible!!! 🤤👏🔥🥰We totally agree, this grill really does do it all and packs a lot of power in its small size!! It sure is heavy though lol!!!😂

[@thomascollins1924]

I have a Traeger Scout. It is prefect for our camping trips, small and potable. Not only do we grill hot dogs, hamburgers, sausages, and steaks on the Scout, we also cook breakfast. With the cast iron griddle we cook eggs, bacon, and sausage. If you think about it the Scout is a convection oven, which means we can also bake biscuits and breakfast breads on our camping trips.

[@MaddieandKiki]

Wow!!! You seem like our kinda BBQer, Thomas!!!! Love that you cook all of that goodness on your Traeger!!🔥🔥🔥

[@MitchAndPhilip]

We have really been enjoying this series. You ladies always put together such a great show!

[@MaddieandKiki]

Thank you so much, Mitch and Philip!! We appreciate you guys saying so, you both are always so sweet to us! We hope you can make it to our live show on Friday!!! 🥰🔥

[@Josh_Rowe]

Was on the fence about getting this grill for camping.. after watching this video I went and ordered one! You guys laid out the facts and the review was very well done! Cheers!

[@MaddieandKiki]

Heck YESSSSS!!!! CONGRATS on your new Traeger Ranger, Josh! You’re going to love this powerful portable grill!!! 🤩🔥👏🤘If you feel like showing us your first cook on it, send us a pic on Instagram so we can share it with the BBQ community! @maddieandkiki

[@thegalleryBBQ]

Another awesome job watching from the treadmill. It's funny because kiki is in my left ear, Maddie in my right. I hear this pits tops when it comes to Portables. Funny show. I like watching the little disagreements 🍔

[@MaddieandKiki]

Thank you Hot Tommy!!! We like that we’re both in your ear this Monday morning!!!!😍🤘🔥 p.s. you, CJ, and the Waltwins did an AWESOME job on your live on Friday!!!!!! You all had us drooling over your delicious food!! Already can’t wait to watch the next one!🔥❤️😎

[@skoggit]

Hey my BBQ Sisters, the BBQ grill reminded me of a record player I had back in the 1970's. The record player was about the same size as the grill and opened the same way. I did like the compact size of the smoker and how much food it would cook. I don't know if I would spend that much money on it through. Really enjoyed the video! Excellent review! Mrs. Skoggit sez hey to everyone! You all Stay Safe & Take Care! See you at Friday's Livestream!

[@MaddieandKiki]

Yes this grill does come with a hefty price tag, it is pricey, but we were so glad to see it lived up to the hype!! And you are so right! It does look like a record player!!! Thank you for your kind words! Please tell Mrs Skoggit we say hello and we hope you both are having a great week!! Can’t wait to catch up at the livestream!!! Have a great day!!!🔥🤩

[@EverettBBQ]

Great review guys! I love the happiness vibe score! 🍔

[@MaddieandKiki]

Thanks Joe!!! You know happiness is such a MAJOR part of grilling, we had to add in a happiness score!!! Grill on BBQ brother!!!🔥

[@PAPATexas]

Classic black for sure. I still want your Maddie and my Madi to do a cooking colab! My pellet grill doesn't like the real cold weather.

[@MaddieandKiki]

We LOVE that idea Papa Texas!!!!! Maddie and Madi would ROCK a BBQ cook together!!!!🥰

[@rlb2444]

Regarding your disagreement about the placement of the pellet bin. The bin does take space away from the grill. However this is a travel grill and having the bin as an add-on outside would be extremely awkward and inconvenient to use as a travel grill. I think the question would be, "Could they make the bin a 6 pound size without negatively affecting the cooking convenience?' I don't know the answer but I am sure they researched it heavily before finalizing the current format of it.

[@MaddieandKiki]

We REALLY appreciate this detailed thorough comment, Rlb2444! Meaningful comments like this really put some pep in our step, thank you for taking the time to write this all out!!!🥰

[@feek4135]

Love this grill - my buddy has one and we use it at the cottage all the time!!! Loved to see you guys put it to good use!!! I can't find the burger emoji or I'd put it LOL

[@MaddieandKiki]

Yes it’s perfect for cottage use too!!! No worries on the burger emoji…..writing “burger” works for us too!!! Thanks Feek!!!!!🥰🔥

[@mikenoseworthy7571]

That smoker looks awesome! I can see bringing it to games for tailgating! Thanks for the review ladies ❤

[@MaddieandKiki]

Thanks Mikey!!! Yes, this grill would be the belle of the ball at a tailgating party!!!🥰🔥

[@NorthTexasBBQAddicts]

those table top grills are pretty slick for sure

[@MaddieandKiki]

Thanks Kenneth!!! They sure are! We cant wait to bring this one camping!!!🔥🤘

[@rickskidmore3075]

I just purchased mine and look forward to grilling on it this weekend. I spent under $500 for mine at ACE Hardware. I would love to see you two do a review with the Ranger grilling steak and smoking meats. Great video.

[@MaddieandKiki]

Yaaaaaay congrats on your new Ranger!!!! What do you plan on cooking on it for the first time?? Yes we can definitely revisit this review with steaks and smoking meats, great idea Rick!!! Grill on!!🔥🔥🔥😍

[@bbqmamag8287]

A bit of colour would be nice but classic black is always good! Seems to hit all the great feature points and love those grill marks!! Great job gals!! 👏🏻❤️🔥💃🏼🍔

[@MaddieandKiki]

Totally agree BBQ Mama!!! A little colour never hurt anybody! 🥰🔥💃🏻

[@MaddieandKiki]

Thank you Don!!! Traegers are awesome!!! Grill on, BBQ brother!🔥🤩

[@Mankitchenrecipes]

The table top pellet grills are pretty cool indeed! But at $600 I would pass!!! I looked that ranger up down here in the states and it's $450 but not exactly like the one you have. They don't show that griddle and the control panel is on the side of the hopper? But even at $450 I would still pass... But it was pretty cool and it did work great! And I do like that they included that griddle because if you could also make some killer breakfasts on it. Good product, but way too expensive for me. I think you guys could get a nice pair of shoes and enjoy them way more LOL! And 13 degrees! Why don't you use the studio!!! Another awesome review!👍💃😎💃🍻🍻🍻

[@MaddieandKiki]

It’s $450 in the states?! What a deal!!! Why was ours so expensive!? LOL! And why the heck is the control panel on the other side??? Why must us Canadians have such different features!! We don’t cook in the Grill Studio in the winter because the distance from the house is ALL ice! Plus, the doors get blocked from all the snow so we cant even open them….we are so sick of winter! Bring on spring and summer temps!!! Thanks for tuning in Kevin! Have a great Monday!!!🍺💃🏻☀️🥰

[@tomsfoodfactory5086]

That's a nice little smoker! For cleanup I'd just use a hand vac. No need to drag out anything bigger. Didn't look to be that much ash. Just my $0.02 USD (that's $0.03 CAD) worth!

[@MaddieandKiki]

LOL we are loving the value of your USD two cents Tom!!!😂 Yes you raise a good point, no need for anything bigger than a hand vac for this little grill!!!🔥

[@kfitz59]

I have 3 grills already (gas,charcoal, and flat top) but I want a pellet smoker also. Thanks for the review.

[@MaddieandKiki]

You sound like our kinda guy, Kevin!!! Once you add a pellet grill, you’ll have the entire fleet of BBQ awesomeness in your yard!!!!😍💃🏻🤩🔥

[@eduardoig17]

Y’all seem like such nice people. I love y’all

[@MaddieandKiki]

Thank you so much Eduardo!!! We love you too!!!🥰

[@AlergicToSnow]

The only thing I don’t like is the need for a vacuum to clean the ash. If you don’t like the hopper on the inside then get the tailgater.

[@MaddieandKiki]

Great idea, Allergic to snow! We will look into the tailgater! Also, LOVE your name, we’re not big fans of the snow either lol!!!!😂🇨🇦🥶

[@tri-tipjunkie]

Very impressive it is great for your need to have a smoker on the go.

[@MaddieandKiki]

Soooo true, although it was heavy, this little beast packs a punch!!!🥰

[@FritzFrank]

Awesome review. That would be great for my retired neighbors. They travel around in the summer in their RV. I'm going to suggest it to them. 😎👍🔥🍻🍔🍔

[@MaddieandKiki]

Thank you Fritz Frank!!! And we love that yoire going to suggest this grill to your retired neighbours!! We hope they love it!!! And yaaaaay learning new things is awesome!!!!!!! We’re so glad you left us a burger emoji!!😂🤘😎🔥🍔

[@michaeldiernlinger2114]

Great little beastie! I found only one disadvantage: you need to have power supply for it to do its thing. So it won't work out at the lake or on a beach holiday. But all the rest is WOW! Even if it's 10 bucks per pound 😂⚖️💸 I would have sooo loved to grab me one of those burgers 😋 Hugs and love from me 🇦🇹 to you 🇨🇦💞🤩

[@MaddieandKiki]

That’s a very good point Michael!! 🔥🤩You could bring a littler generator, or use a portable charcoal grill! We are testing a portable gas grill in the coming weeks and we cant wait to see how that one performs too!! Sending lots of love and hugs from us to you!!! 🇨🇦 ❤️ 🇦🇹

[@Willplunk]

Good review Lady Pitmasters, I would like a charcoal grill for a portable one, lighter, easy to operate, great taste.🍔

[@CrispyOkra]

You're going to need something to store it in. After a few uses the grease will make a mess of wherever it's stored.

[@MaddieandKiki]

Thank you for the tip, Trailing Accomplice!!! We are constantly trying to manage grease when it comes to all of our grills!!! Why is the cleanup never as fun as the actual cooking!😂😂😂

[@thepassportvisacompany9062]

Hi ladies. I purchased the Ranger today. Read stories about the grease fires & recalls but assume that is the case with just about any grill. I'm looking for a stand for it to use on a regular basis on my patio because space was one of my reason for getting it in addition to the quality Traeger is known for and for portability to take to my property. Any suggestions on stable grill stands? Cant wait to get cooking.

[@MaddieandKiki]

Wow congrats!!!! A new grill purchase is ALWAYS a fun day!🤩🔥 We use metal tables that aren’t portable for all of our smaller grills, but we have heard good things about the Cuisinart take along grill stand, and it won’t break the bank either! Congrats on your new grill, you’re going to love it!🤩🔥👏👍 any plans for your first cook?? Grill on!!!

[@truneilson]

What about a luggage tray... like they have at hotels. Folds out and sturdy. Folds away easily. Maybe buy the metal version.

[@georgecook1374]

well if you truly were wanting to see how much meat it would hold you should have done pork butts or as big of a packer brisket as would fit.. burgers and dogs and such is hardly a bench mark. specially for a smoker. then of course my next thought after your intro being new here is are these products gifted to you? are you paid by the companies to review them? or are you buying them with your own hard earned cash? well produced vid nonetheless.
