Covers, rain and winter

Covers, rain and cold

The manual and Traeger support.

1. Cover the grill when you are not using it, and only when it is cool (cover BAC503, the same as the Pro 575's).
2. Never store the cover under the grill. Wipe it clean; do not machine-wash it (Traeger support).
3. Rain and light snow are fine to cook in, but keep the cord and any extension-cord joint out of water and snow (the manual).
4. Use an extension cord only if it is outdoor-rated, earthed and No. 14 AWG (the manual).
5. In cold weather expect slower starts, more pellets and cooler running. Shelter it from wind. Below 0 °C (32 °F), Traeger's insulation blanket (BAC626) helps: use it at 177 °C (350 °F) or lower and not with the front shelf fitted (Traeger support).
6. Below −29 °C (−20 °F) the display may be damaged (the manual).
